A member asked:
I was told by my gynecologist on a previous visit that because i can't lose weight with metformin she'll probably be prescribing saxenda. i have yet to start saxenda, but i have ibs-c already and ive heard it causes constipation. what should i do?

A balanced diet, proper hydration and physical exercise are the main ways of avoiding constipation. When it comes to weight loss diet and physical exercise along with proper rest are best in the long run.
