Trulicity - Egg burps, gas stomach, pain and diahrerea?

I’m late on this post, but thought I would share. I’ve been on Trulicity for T2 since 2023. I am taking 3.0. A1C is down to 4.9! This drug helps my fibromyalgia and neuropathy. It takes away my overall feeling of being inflamed. I’ve lost 50+ lbs but, will rapidly gain back 10 if I skip a month. The first two months was explosive diarrhea, stomach cramps. Then it’s just egg burping (my grandsons are impressed) and farts. The feeling of bloating up under my rib cage is uncomfortable. My diarrhea, I notice, will last for two days and I also have the feeling that I’m not completely relieved. My lower GI is where I have most issues with stomach ready to blow but then I never feel cleaned out. Going to try more water and a pre and probiotic.

Omg, this is happening to me. It’s the worse! The burps are the worst part/worse smelling for me. And there is so much gas and bloating. My doctor pulled me off of it as of today.

I have horrible bloating and gas.

I just started Trulicity on Sat Sept 30. Last night and today Ive had explosive diarrhea, and the nastiest burps I have ever had in my life. I swear I was having hot flashes last night after those being done for over 5 yrs. I already have enough pain and fatigue in my life from my Fibro. Depending on how long this crap lasts, I might give it another week.

I don’t have an answer but I came to say this happens to me too!!! It’s the WORST i contemplate going to the ER each time bc it’s horrible

I have been taking .75 for a year and a half plus 2 metformin. Sometimes I skip the m if I have diarrhea. I just went to 1.5 because I started teaching school and don’t get swimming in every day like I did. I heard gas is your liver trying to work too hard. I mostly avoid carbs, no sugar. Little fat. Not had trouble before till now but have had gas. I was super sick vomiting and called poison control. Too much medicine for me without exercise. I am going back to the lower dose and walking before I go to work. There is a need for vitamin C and B for me type of foods. Nuts and apples, limit fruit 2-3 times for my sweetness. Feeling better by fasting, not eating at night or until 9 am. Eat dinner1 cup by 4. Works for me. Americans eat too large of portions. Drink a gallon of water a day. Exercise and muscle work is key to this disease.

Omg for a month I thought it was my new diet. I didn't think it was Trulicity causing it. I was fine for the first 2 months with no side effects, I'm on the .75 dosage. My A1C went from 11.2 to 6.6. last month I started having sulfur burps. Lasted for 2 days and then went away. Then 2 weeks later I got them again followed by diarrhea. 2 days of hell. Most recent was this past weekend where I was so bloated with gas, I couldn't sleep on my side because it hurt too much. Then on Monday I was fine.

My cousin is on Trulicity and is a health care provider, she told me what helps is no carbs in the afternoon until bedtime and eat a light dinner. This will prevent this issue. She said it's caused by food not going past the stomach, so it's having a hard time with the digestive process. I'm going to alter my diet to see if this fixes the issue. My last shot was last Thursday so I started feeling gassy 2 days later. I'll follow-up this weekend if that's what resolves my issue. Thankfully no vomiting.

In short, yes, with the increased dosage (1.5). Lasts 1-3 days for me both weeks I've been on it. I'm hoping it subsides after a few more shots but consider yourself luckily it's only been once a month. It is hellish but some people seem to have worse reactions than others. I'm thankful no vomiting or nausea yet. I just gotta stay close to home and bear through the cramps, diarrhea and nasty burps. I'm trying probiotics to see if that helps.

I never had these issues. For me it caused coughing that progressively got worse. Had to quit taking it. What level injection has been used for the burping, Etc?

So glad this post exists! This is my 2nd time having excessive egg burps and diarrhea. I was on the low dose for 3 weeks and only had some diarrhea after a fatty meal maybe and some cold sweats. The first 3 weeks didn't do much for my A1C or appetite so my Dr increased the dosage to 1.5. I've taken 2 shots so far and the next day after each one, I have the nasty burps, diarrhea and bad stomach cramps. Symptoms are somewhat mild except for some of the cramps. Appetite is less and blood glucose has been great. Will try some of the remedies here, but I hope it subsides. I'm wondering if I should take more fiber to move the food along or if I need to stop my diet sodas (my kryptonite). Will continue to monitor/change diet to see if there's a trigger.

I have had my 2nd shot one day ago and have the egg burping….. thought it might be from a kale salad I ate

I get the egg burps too, and some fatty foods bring it on more than others, deep fried foods, ribs, beef, that sort of thing. OTC Tagamet + Gas X cures the sulfur burps within a few minutes for me but the stomach cramps happen regardless. Only way to avoid it all together is to not eat those foods. Another tip for these shots is to drink plenty of water and regularly eat vegetables. If nothing is moving the gut stuff is worse, my gastroenterologist prescribed me a laxative and a stool softener.

I have been on trulicity since April. Amazing results. Have slowly increased to 3.0 and now periodically have bouts of sulphuric burps, vomiting, diarrhea, gas. Have narrowed it down to the day after eating high protein/ red meat. I started taking digestive enzymes and probiotics at every meal along with ox bile once a day And symptoms have dissapeared! I had a feeling it was the cause because it slows down the digestion of your food to make you feel fuller longer.

I just discovered today that Trulicity was the root cause to sulfur burps and terrible gas! Last month my stomach was so bloated it looked like I were pregnant. Drinking. Peppermint tea and/or baking soda dissolved in water, has helped tremendously!! I’ve been on Trulicity for a few years now, and just recently started having these concerning side effects.
