A constipation tracker should log bowel rhythm, stool difficulty, fluids, fiber, food intake, activity, dose week, and severe pain or persistent symptoms.
Why it matters
Constipation can build gradually as appetite and fluid intake drop.
It may last longer than early nausea for many users.
Severe abdominal pain, vomiting, or inability to pass stool/gas should not be normalized.
What to track
Days since bowel movement and difficulty level
Water, fiber, meal volume, protein, and activity
Dose week and recent dose increase
Pain, vomiting, bloating, and red-flag symptoms

Frequently asked questions
Why does constipation happen on GLP-1?
GLP-1 medications can slow GI movement and reduce intake. Lower fluids and lower food volume can compound constipation.
When should constipation be escalated?
Severe pain, persistent vomiting, inability to keep fluids down, or worsening symptoms should be discussed with a clinician urgently.
