GLP-1 Companion Guide
Once a Week on Your GLP-1? Bloated, Stuck, and Dreading the Bathroom?
You are not imagining it, and you are not alone. When your medication slows everything down, your usual fixes can stop working, or even make it worse. Here is what usually starts to help, and why it works when the other stuff doesn't.
If any of that sounds familiar, keep reading. This part is for you.
I was you. I am on a GLP-1 too. The medication was working, but within a couple of weeks the constipation got so bad it was all I could think about. I tried fiber. I tried laxatives. Some of it made the bloating worse. I was ready to give up on the whole thing and throw away months of progress.
Then I started reading about why this actually happens, and I found something built for exactly this, that works with a slowed-down gut instead of against it. Here is what changed for me, and why.
The shelf-full-of-bottles problem
Before I found what actually helped, my bathroom shelf looked like a pharmacy. A separate bottle for fiber. Another for magnesium. Electrolytes. A B-complex. Something for digestion. Half of them half-used, and honestly, I forgot to take most of them most days.
One thing to remember. One thing that actually gets taken.
Here is what usually does not get explained
The part behind all of it
Your digestion slows right down.
Your GLP-1 does not just quiet your appetite. It slows your whole digestive system down. That is part of how it works. But it also means things move through much more slowly, and can get stuck. That is why the constipation, the bloating, and the burps tend to show up together.
Why the usual fixes often backfire
Stimulant laxatives push your intestines to contract. But your medication is quietly doing the opposite. So you get cramping, urgency, or nothing at all.
Fiber on its own adds bulk, and bulk needs movement to work. On a gut that is barely moving, more bulk often just means more bloating.
The magnesium trap. Most magnesium supplements use oxide or plain citrate. Those are the forms most likely to upset your stomach, which is the last thing you need on a slowed gut. The form matters far more than almost anyone tells you.
What usually falls short
- Stimulant laxatives that fight your medication
- Plain fiber added to a slow gut
- Magnesium oxide, harsh on the stomach
- Generic multivitamins, not built for this
What tends to help
- Gentle magnesium glycinate, kind to the stomach
- A measured amount of citrate to soften, not force
- Fiber paired with digestive support
- Electrolytes and the nutrients you run low on
What tends to help instead
Left: what a slowed gut feels like, tense and stuck. Right: what usually starts to happen once things get gently moving again.
Magnesium draws water in
Softens gently, no forcing.
Fiber gets things moving
Support suited to a slow gut.
Things flow as they should
Gentler, more regular mornings.
lotti pairs two forms of magnesium on purpose. Magnesium glycinate, the gentle form that is kind to your stomach, plus a measured amount of citrate to gently draw in water and soften things without forcing. It works with your slowed system, not against it.
Around that sit fiber and digestive support that suit a slow gut, electrolytes to keep you steady, and the B vitamins you tend to run low on when you are eating less. One stick, once a day, in a glass of water.
Most people start to notice gentler, more regular mornings within the first several days.
What is in each daily stick, and why
Magnesium glycinate + citrate
Gentle forms
Stomach-friendly magnesium that softens without forcing and supports regularity.
Fiber blend
Daily support
Supports movement in a way that suits a slowed gut, paired with digestive support so it does not just add bulk.
Electrolytes
Sodium, potassium, magnesium
Helps you stay hydrated and steady when you are eating and drinking less.
Methylated B12 + B6
Bioavailable forms
When you eat less, you take in fewer nutrients. These are among the first to run low.
Digestive support
Enzymes + ginger
Helps food move through instead of sitting and fermenting, which is what tends to drive the burps.

A note from our founder
I am on a GLP-1 too, and the side effects nearly made me stop. My doctor said to drink more water and try some fiber. Nothing really helped. So I went looking for the actual reason these things happen, and worked with a formulation team to build the companion I wished I had on day one. Honest dosing, gentle magnesium forms, everything in one stick, and no hiding what is inside or how much. You should not have to choose between staying on your medication and feeling like yourself. That is the whole reason lotti exists.

I was literally four days without going on my GLP-1. My stomach felt like concrete. Tried this after seeing it in a support group. By the next morning I finally went. No cramping, no running to the bathroom, just relief. Like clockwork now. I wish someone had told me about this months ago.

The egg burps were ruining my life. I tried antacids, ginger tea, everything. This is the first thing that actually helped at the source. Within a couple of days the burps were noticeably better. A week in, basically gone.

Down to one stick instead of the five bottles that were cluttering my shelf. Simpler, and I actually remember to take it. My afternoons feel steadier too, which I was not expecting.

The energy is the surprise for me. I stopped needing that afternoon crash nap. Regular mornings were the main thing I wanted and I got those in the first week.
