Flaxseed Gel

Side Effects

Hi all,

Just wanted to make a recommendation to help with those struggling with digestion.

For context I’ve had no side effects for the first 7 weeks of my journey but on week 8 I had the worst stomach issues of my life. Built up gas, bloating, cramps, diarrhoea. you name it I had it for a full 4-5 days no matter what I ate. This was followed by constipation for a further week and I am now currently on week 10 just getting back on my feet.

I tried everything to get bowl movements healthy and more regular and nothing worked.

Until I tried flaxseed gel!

I don’t see a lot of people talk about it/post about it but It’s been an absolute must for me these past few weeks and has sped up my gastric emptying to a somewhat normal pre-Mounjaro pace.

Disclaimer: this is what worked for me and everyone is different of course, however for those unsure, flaxseeds in different forms have been well studied and have been found to have multiple health properties including lowering cholesterol and aiding in digestion.
