Mounjaro (tirzepatide) has been a breakthrough medication for type 2 diabetes and weight loss—but for many users, it comes with an unwanted side effect: constipation. If your digestion has slowed since starting Mounjaro, you’re not alone.

In this post, we’ll explore:

• Why Mounjaro causes constipation
• Natural ways to relieve it
• How psyllium husk and colonic hydrotherapy can help

 Why Mounjaro Slows Digestion

Mounjaro works by slowing gastric emptying, which helps you feel full longer and reduces blood sugar spikes. But this same effect also slows down your intestines, often leading to:

• Constipation
• Bloating
• Gas
• A feeling of fullness or heaviness

 Hydration: The First Step Toward Relief

Before anything else, check your water intake. Mounjaro can increase dehydration, especially if you’re eating less or not drinking enough. Aim for 2–3 litres of water per day.

 Add a squeeze of lemon, cucumber slices, or electrolyte drops to enhance absorption.

 Psyllium Husk: A Natural Fiber Boost

Psyllium husk is one of the most effective and gentle ways to support regular bowel movements. It’s a water-soluble fiber that:

• Adds bulk to stool
• Softens the stool for easier passage
• Promotes a regular rhythm when taken daily

 How to Use It:
Start with 1 teaspoon mixed into a large glass of water. Drink immediately before it thickens. Follow with another glass of water.

 Move to Make It Move

Constipation often worsens when we’re inactive. Try incorporating daily gentle movement to stimulate peristalsis (the wave-like motion of your intestines).

 Effective options:

• 20-minute brisk walk
• Yoga twists
• Abdominal massage (clockwise, circular motion)

 Magnesium for Night-time Relief

Magnesium, especially in the form of magnesium citrate or oxide, draws water into the colon and helps soften stool naturally.

 Tip: Take it before bed for a gentle bowel movement in the morning.

 Colonic Hydrotherapy: A Deeper Reset

When things feel seriously backed up, colonic hydrotherapy can offer powerful relief. It’s a safe, water-based internal cleanse that:

• Clears impacted waste
• Reduces bloating
• Stimulates sluggish bowel reflexes

Colonics also support detoxification and can “retrain” your gut to improve rhythm and sensitivity.

 When to Seek Medical Advice

Some symptoms may require professional evaluation. Contact your healthcare provider if you experience:

• No bowel movement in 3+ days
• Severe abdominal pain
• Nausea, vomiting, or fever
• Blood in your stool
