🌀 Struggling with Acid Reflux on GLP-1s? Here’s What You Need to Know 👇
GLP-1 medications like semaglutide are powerful tools for weight loss and blood sugar control—but they can also cause GI side effects, including acid reflux or heartburn 🔥.
Why does this happen?
GLP-1s slow digestion to keep you fuller longer—but that slower emptying can sometimes lead to stomach acid backing up into the esophagus.
Tips to manage it:
🥗 Eat smaller meals
🚫 Avoid lying down after eating
☕ Limit caffeine, spicy foods, and alcohol
💊 Talk to your doctor about antacids or adjusting your dosage
GLP-1s are a game-changer, but side effects don’t have to get in the way of your goals.
Many people experience reflux on GLP-1s—it’s manageable!
Stay informed, listen to your body, and don’t hesitate to seek support 💪
