Constipation is a common issue with these medications

For constipation, I would suggest 1 cap full (17 gm) of PEG 3350 every day or every other day. You may have to experiment a bit to see what works for you.

This is the one I’d recommend:

Also, take Magnesium Citrate capsules 800 mg — One every day: https://www.amazon.com/Magnesium-Manufactured-Double-Wood-Supplements/dp/B0B526QJ9D

Important Dietary Hints for Mounjaro, Zepbound and other GLP1’s

• Drink 6 to 8 servings (8 ounces) of fluid every day.
• Sip liquids between meals, not with meals.
• Wait about 30 minutes after a meal to drink anything and avoid drinking 30 minutes before a meal.
• To avoid indigestion, nausea or other GI symptoms, eat smaller meals. Try 1/2 the usual serving – Mounjaro typically reduces your appetite so you may find this to be filling (try not to eat until you are full.)
• Eat lean, protein-rich foods daily.
• Eat adequate fiber/roughage to avoid constipation (see article below.)
• Choose foods and drinks that are low in fats and sugar (low carbohydrates.)
• Avoid alcohol
• Chew foods thoroughly to help with digestion.
• Take a short walk after eating

Increase Fermentable Fiber in your Diet

Duca and his colleagues found that a fiber in barley, called beta-glucan, induced the most weight loss in obese animals. “At face value and, at least in our settings, it was only beta-glucan that was effective,” he says.

Beta-glucan is also found in oats and rye. And indeed, studies with people have found that beta-glucan fiber may improve insulin sensitivity, lower blood pressure and increase satiation between meals. 

Other fermentable fibers include dextrin in wheat, oligosaccharides in beans, peas and lentils, and pectin in apples, pears and green bananas.
