Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists are a class of medications primarily used to manage type 2 diabetes and, more recently, for weight management in certain patient groups
When the medication reaches your intestines, it stimulates receptors that control bowel movement and fluid secretion, sometimes resulting in looser stools or increased bathroom frequency
This reduces the volume of food in your stomach at any given time, decreasing the likelihood of nausea from delayed gastric emptying
Avoid heavy, greasy foods: rich meals may worsen stomach symptoms
Some GLP-1 medications activate a single gut hormone, while others activate multiple hormones for additional effects.We recommend discussing with your Seriously Health provider to determine which GLP-1 medication best fits your individual needs and goals
