Miserable for the last week

Hey guys, Looking for guidance or support. I’ve been on semaglutide for 10 weeks. 1 mg dosage for the last 5 weeks. Up until last week I had 2 total episodes of sulfur burps, cramping and diarrhea. I vomited a few times during one of these episodes. These episodes both lasted about 24 hours and I felt mostly back to normal after that. Otherwise my side effects have been very minimal (mild constipation sometimes, mild heartburn occasionally). Prior to this past week, the medication has been like a miracle to me. I feel full easier, get hungry less often, don’t binge, etc. I am losing weight consistently.

Last week I developed sulfur burps, diarrhea and vomiting. I felt better sooner than the 24 hour period that these symptoms lasted for previously. Then 24 hours later the same symptoms hit me. I felt better then the symptoms came back a day later. This past week has been miserable with horrible cramping, bloating, gas, and diarrhea. I will feel better for a day or so then my symptoms recur. The vomiting isn’t as common as the other symptoms.

I’m completely miserable.

I am able to hold down water and Gatorade when I’m experiencing these symptoms but I am afraid to eat anything because that just seems to make my symptoms worse. I have been going close to 24 hours with no food.

I’m a bit perplexed over whether this is a direct medication side effect or if semaglutide just makes you more susceptible to stomach viruses/ food poisoning. I was on the 1 mg dosage for 3 weeks without much issue prior to this.

I’ve tried gas X, pepto bismol, and Imodium. Imodium helps some with the diarrhea and cramps but not a lot.

Feeling a bit disheartened and hoping these symptoms don’t last in perpetuity.

Has anyone else experienced something similar? Any advice?
