Dr.GutHealth said:Constipation replaced nausea at around week five and has been the more persistent of the two by a wide margin.
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.
A narrower follow-up, since the general answer is now clear:
Whether fiber actually helps GLP-1 constipation or whether the evidence is borrowed from a different population?

Heartburn management on constipation: Pepcid (famotidine) 20mg 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.

Update — the osmotic agent was the thing. I had been reaching for a stimulant, which was making the next day worse.

Acid reflux and constipation: I developed GERD symptoms around week 7 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.
