Those are unfortunate, but often common, side effects of ozempic. So while seeing a dietician isn't a bad idea, it may not be all that helpful. After being on ozempic for a little more than 6 months, those side effects have mostly gone away for me. But I'll still occasionally be bothered a day or so after taking my shot. I would suggest trying to up your fiber intake. Don't forget to drink plenty of water as diarrhea can dehydrate you fairly quickly. Especially in the heat. You should let your prescribing dr know if your symptoms are severe. Hang in there, things got much better for me once I got to the stable, maximum dose and my body was able to adjust.
