Anyone else notice weird stool changes while tapering Mounjaro?
Hi everyone,
I’ve been on Mounjaro for almost 15 months and started tapering my dose down quite gradually a couple of months ago. I've reached a healthy goal weight that I want to maintain and I'm succeeding in that without too much effort, for now.
I went from 5 mg weekly to 2.5 mg weekly, then 2.5 mg every 10 days, and now I’m at 2.5 mg every 2 weeks.
Since going to 2.5 every 10 days, I’ve noticed my digestion changing again. My stool has become more flat and kind of sticky compared to when I was on a stable dose and had perfect stool. It is not diarrhea, but definitely not my normal either.
Has anyone else experienced changes like this during dose reduction or coming off Mounjaro?
I looked into intolerances after having discovered in the beginning stages of my Mounjaro treatment that I had a milk protein intolerance, and quitting all milk and milk containing products resulted in a perfectly normal stool for the first time in 10 years. But after one year of normal stool, misery seems to start again. I tried quitting several things as a test but it doesn't seem to solve it. So now I'm looking at the effect of Mounjaro, thinking that maybe due to losing the slowing effect of Mounjaro, that I get these new problems.
I’m wondering if this is just my gut adjusting again after being on it for a while, or if others have had similar effects when reducing frequency or dose.
Thanks in advance for sharing your experiences!
