TomTeleRx said:The mechanism is slowed transit plus reduced intake, and that combination determines which interventions work.
Acid reflux and constipation: I developed GERD symptoms around week 6 that I'd never had before. The delayed gastric emptying means food and acid sit in your stomach longer.
Management that works for me: elevate head of bed 6 inches, don't eat within 3 hours of lying down, avoid trigger foods (tomato, citrus, spicy, chocolate), and famotidine 20mg at bedtime. Much better now.
One thing that is still open after roxy_nash’s answer:
What the mechanism is, because if it is transit rather than water then fiber is the wrong lever?

Gastroparesis symptoms with constipation: the delayed gastric emptying from GLP-1 agonists can cause early satiety, bloating, and feeling "full" for hours after a small meal.
Tips: eat your protein FIRST (most important macro), then vegetables, then carbs last. Chew thoroughly — 20-30 chews per bite isn't excessive. Avoid carbonated beverages with meals. If symptoms are severe, your doctor may recommend a gastric emptying study.

Heartburn management on constipation: Tums as needed has been my savior. The delayed gastric emptying means stomach acid just sits there.
Don't ignore persistent heartburn — chronic acid exposure can damage your esophagus. If OTC remedies aren't cutting it after 2 weeks, see your doctor for something stronger. You shouldn't suffer through this.
