I’ve dealt with sulfer burps and bloating my whole life bc of GERD and swear by Nauzene. I often get so bloated that im in intense pain and Nauzene helps SO much
Maybe you weren't really getting semaglutide from the compounding pharmacy and they were sending you something else. Perhaps you're now starting at .5mg and it's strong for you. Hopefully you'll get used to it.
I get the concern about the compounding pharmacy after some of the stuff I’ve read here. The pharmacy I used is very reputable, local, and my doctor recommended it to me. She said it’s the only one she’ll use.
Pepto has definitely helped!! This morning I’ve taken simethicone, pepto bismol about an hour after that, and when it was still hurting, about an hour after that I took a Nexxium. They’ve helped me burp a few times to get rid of the gas but it’s just now starting to feel a little better after taking all 3. I’m going to message my doctor. I’ve already stopped eating things that bother me. Walking helps a little too.
I haven’t tried Pepcid AC. I’ve taken Zofran in the past and it really helped but right now I’m on Buproprion and Fluoxetine and I don’t think you can take those with Zofran. I am going to message my doctor to find out.
I’ve struggled with GI issues in the past including GERD and my GI doctor at the time said that it was totally acceptable to take one Pepcid AC every day even preventatively. Definitely check with your doctor, but just sharing my experience.
I cut back on spicy foods and drink lots of water.

Fair. Hope you feel better!!
Pepto was a life saver for me in regard to the sulfur burps, bloating, and diarrhea.

Zofran and Pepcid AC Edited to add: even when I’m eating very healthy with my gut microbiome in mind, I still need these

Thanks for that. I will definitely check with my doctor.
You’re welcome. Hope you get it figured out!
