I guess drop the Reta for now ? It does cause this, but I’ve never had that issue.

It's weird with Reta. From the obvious slowing of gastric emptying, I've seen different types of protein or carbs that can cause what you are experiencing and there seems to be no rhyme or reason as to what exact source it comes from. Some people get it from rice, potato, oats, breads to milks, whey, egg whites, etc. We just don't know enough about the mechanisms of action yet in accordance with certain food sources. We just have personal anecdote, which sucks because as we all know people vary largely on digestion/gut biomes.

A quick elimination of certain foods sometimes works and allows you to continue with the reta without the distension, while some people just don't handle it well.

I'm slowly moving away from the GLP's regarding bodybuilding with the more sides I see. Doesn't mean they aren't a game changer for some people, especially the obese.

I got some digestive enzymes.

But i.think I figured mine out ..I watched my diet very closely all week and I noticed any time I had dairy the bloating was there.. the times I had alot of dairy it was severe.

I noticed that the reta def is slowing digestion and when I have dairy it's even worse and I get nasty heartburn too.

Still gonna try to cut gluten and see if that helps.

Thanks to everyone for all the comments and help here. It also does feel like someone said SIBO or gas in the belly or intestines but it's absolutely worst when I consume dairy.

I've had a very mild dairy allergen for a few years where it gives me congestion. But this is way way worse now. Not sure if the reta makes me more sensitive to dairy?

Anyone else have such an issue?

I did a quick Google search and apparently Reta can help people with gluten sensitivity issues.

for me personally I’ve noticed that the day of and the day after I sit about 2-3lbs above my average weight I wouldn’t say I get distribution but the initial hit of the slow gastric emptying is there doesn’t impact me negatively though

Very true, at some point you start declining and it will continue until you die. You can only do so much to cheat time

Would agree on the reta & you really don't need it Bro
Also - I always keep these on hand for just such an occasion. These have come in handy more than once.

Nah man I’m gonna chime in. Forget this Nutricost cheap bullshit.

Look into Pepsin / HCI. I take 2-3 before or during a meal and I shit you not (lol dad joke), that it helps with bloat.

Digestive enzymes are bullshit, unless you actually know the percentage of enzymes.. etc. I don’t buy into it anymore.

I've been taking those for at least a year now.... Great for digesting
a lot of eggs! I only take 1 per meal but I eat 8x's a day.
Reta still gave me the Walker gut for 3 days.

Taking pepsin?
 
Omoplata said:
Thanks, yeah you eat like a mammoth yu need a shit ton. I’ve noticed combining 1-3mg SS-31 with Pepsin+HCL is great at low bloat.
SS-31 isn’t hype.

Happy you've added SS-31 into this discussion. I've have read a boatload of research but yet to utilize it. Can you lay out how you use it, i.e. Daily, EOD? dosage, sources you use etc....

Sure HC,

I purchased a 50mg bottle, reconstituted with 1mL bacWater. I began at 1mg only on workout days. Didn’t notice anything the first few uses. Switched to 2mg (daily) post injection my worked muscles felt sore. Slight appetite increase in the AM, ability to eat past fullness(every meal) and abdomen flatter upon waking.

Now, as I am almost out, I am back to workout days only. I’ve had the bottle for over 3 weeks. I truly know the product lowers stomach and body fat(how?) contradictory but I notice I am not as bloated for long periods of time (I eat a lot of pasta and Cuban food. Which makes me bloat.) and within an hour I’m good.)

. I initially purchased from a vendor not on the board. And I will continue to do so, until I find a source on here with up to date lab reports.

Soma Chems has it I believe. This shit is expensive though. 1 bottle for 10mg I believe is upward of $50. That won’t last long because 1mg I believe is the lowest dosage but YMMV.

As much as I am bias, I strongly recommend you try it out yourself. I’ve done what you have and researched and just like most peptides.. it works. Mots-C, NAD+, SS-31, GHK-cu these are legit. There is a reason the normies on GLP forums get them out of stock.
 
Did you ever get this hammered out? Does it still happen? This is something that used to happen to me very badly, too. It would go away for a while, then it would come back in full force and set me back for weeks. This was during the time I had shredded abs, so going from that to a gut that also stuck out further than my chest did was not fun. I would go from looking like I was single digit bf% (I could see every ab fully, even some veins there, was pretty sick), to looking like I was 20%+ from the fluid accumulation that accompanied it. It fucking sucked.

I was never able to figure out what it was. I got tested for gastroporeisis, SIBO, Crohn's, IBS, IBD, Celiac, ulcers, etc. etc... No answers. It still happens from time to time, and it's very uncomfortable.
 
I'm curious about the SS-31 as well. I did some research on that a while back and it interested me.
 
Just as an add on, Reta HATES fats. Dietary fat is nature’s GLP-1. Reta already slows gastric emptying, well, intake of dietary fats will double or triple that effect when used with a glp-1. Result? Super distended gut. Experienced it and seen it time and time again. With Reta/Tirz/sema its wise to go low fat in your diet if you don’t want a pregnant belly all the time.

I noticed the same shit, that’s why oily foods get you sick when you’re on Reta
 
Have you ever looked in DAO digestive histamine supplements? I just stumbled upon the subject. Since I have been dealing with the worst congestion for 3 months now.

Guys any of you have a distended belly out of the blue and for no true reason?

Even w my medical background I am stumped. Lately when I do eat lunch or dinner, I eat a pretty normal portion for my size. Lets say I have a `12" subway grinder. That's literally all I will eat. Then my stomach gets mega distended for a few hours. I look like one of those HGH bodybuilders.

This has been going on for a few months now. The only thing I have done different is maybe that I am only eating 2 meals a day and mostly at night time

But even if I have so much as a cheeseburger or a dish of food, normal size, I look like a fat tick. You can see my abs and all under it.

I am wondering if I have developed some new food allergy or something? I can't make sense of it.

Any of you guys have this happen? Maybe a digestive issue of some sort. I do feel almost bloated oddly on it,. My belly sticks out as much as my chest for a few hours and then subsides.

Just weird after all these years.

Thoughts?

Nope but I know she isn't wrong. This subsided awhile back

I attribute it to heavy dairy intake on Reta. It might be me, or it might be alot of people that these two dont mix well. Ty sir
 
That powerwash stuff you sell works well for cleaning out the gut and flattening out.

1 Shot of Reta and I couldn't shit for 3 days... Normally I shit 5 times a day :ROFLMAO:
I don't know how guys can run the stuff... I was hopeful for the lowering of glucose, I just didn't know you couldn't eat on the shit.

I wish I would have known... I just ordered a shit ton of of basically the same stuff, to detox any parasites that maybe in my body... with the foods we eat, especially meat and fish (Sushi) can contain parasites that feed off you and can contribute to multiple health issues. (y)
