01WHAT TO TRACK

Why GLP-1s Cause Nausea

01
🧠
Brainstem Activation
GLP-1 receptors in area postrema. Direct nausea center stimulation. Dose-dependent — higher dose = more nausea
02
🔬
Gastric Emptying Slowdown
Ozempic slows food leaving the stomach. Fullness triggers nausea and bloating. Worsened by high-fat or large meals
03
🔬
Why It Gets Better
Receptor downregulation over 4–8 weeks. Gut adapts to slower emptying rate. Titration schedule allows gradual tolerance
02BACKGROUND

Nausea Data from Trials

Proportion of SUSTAIN trial patients reporting nausea during dose escalation.

Percentage who stopped Ozempic specifically due to nausea — much lower than initial reporters.

Most patients report significant nausea reduction by weeks 8–12 of therapy.

03WHAT TO TRACK

Food Guide for GLP-1 Nausea

01
🔬
✓ Best Tolerated Foods
Plain crackers, rice, toast (BRAT diet). Eggs, chicken breast, Greek yogurt. Bananas, applesauce, cold/room-temp foods. Ginger tea, ginger chews, peppermint tea. Electrolyte drinks (no sugar) for hydr
02
🔬
✗ Foods to Avoid
High-fat meals (fried foods, fatty meat). Spicy foods — worsen gastric irritation. Carbonated drinks — increase bloating. Alcohol — amplifies nausea and gastroparesis. Large meals — one of the biggest
