Modify Your Diet Temporary dietary adjustments can help firm up stools: Eat smaller, more frequent meals Avoid raw fruits and vegetables temporarily Choose low-fiber, easily digestible foods Eliminate trigger foods (see above) Consider keeping a food diary to identify your specific triggers Add Probiotics Probiotics may help restore healthy gut bacteria: Probiotic supplements: Look for products with multiple strains Probiotic foods: Plain yogurt (if tolerated), kefir Give it 2-4 weeks to see benefits Use Imodium for Short-Term Relief Loperamide (Imodium) can provide relief for acute episodes: Initial dose: 4 mg (2 capsules) after first loose stool Follow-up: 2 mg (1 capsule) after each loose stool Maximum: 8 mg (4 capsules) in 24 hours Duration: Up to 72 hours (3 days) total Do NOT use daily or long-term without provider approval Important: If you need Imodium for more than 3 days, contact your provideryour GLP-1 dose likely needs adjustment

Additional caution or monitoring may be appropriate in research settings involving: Pregnancy- or lactation-related research models, where limited safety data is available Active cancer-, tumor-, or abnormal proliferative research models, where NAD-related and metabolic-signaling pathways may influence cellular-signaling mechanisms Cardiovascular- or uncontrolled-hypertension research models, where metabolic-pathway modulation may influence cardiovascular-related biomarkers in some experimental settings Thyroid-related or endocrine research models, where metabolic-pathway investigations may influence endocrine-related observations Diabetes- or glucose-regulation research models, where insulin- and glucose-related pathways may warrant closer monitoring in experimental settings Moderate to severe hepatic- or renal-impairment research models, where compound metabolism or clearance mechanisms may be altered Autoimmune- or inflammatory-response research models, where immune-metabolic signaling pathways may influence inflammatory-related biomarkers or cytokine observations Research conditions, dosage ranges, administration frequency, protocol duration, and concurrent compounds may influence tolerability observations across experimental settings

Teratogenic drugs: Medications like isotretinoin (for acne) or finasteride (for hair loss) can be harmful to a developing fetus
