semaglutide + psyllium
These medicines make the stomach empty much more slowly. Indigestible plant fibre that sits in a slow stomach long enough can mat together into a solid ball called a bezoar. In one endoscopy series, four of twenty-three patients taking a GLP-1 medicine had a gastric bezoar of four centimetres or more, and none of the seventy-seven patients not taking one did. A concentrated fibre supplement adds exactly the material these are formed from. Bulk fibre also swells with water and can lodge in the food pipe if taken with too little fluid.
