Sulfur burps flared up today on Mounjaro, help?

The only thing that helped mine was cutting back on greasy food the day after my shot. Down 12 lbs and still get them occasionally, but they're way milder now. Simpler dinners on injection days made all the difference for me.

Down 49 lbs and I still get them a few days after injection some weeks. What helped me most was cutting back on anything fatty on those days and sipping water with a little fresh ginger in it. No clue if it's the same root cause for everyone, but that combo got me through the worst stretch.

28 lbs in and mine show up mostly when I eat too close to bedtime the day after my shot. Early, lighter dinners pretty much stopped them for me. Worth seeing if timing is part of it for you too.

I'm only down 19 lbs but the pattern's the same for me - they show up a day or two after my shot no matter what. Lately I've had luck with smaller, plainer dinners that night and it seems to keep them from getting as gnarly. Simethicone takes the edge off for me when they hit anyway.

The day-after-shot window is real for me too, 46 lbs in and they still creep in if I eat heavy that first evening. What finally helped mine was cutting way back on anything greasy or sugary that night and sipping water all day. Ginger chews got me through the worst ones when they showed up anyway.

Down 44 lbs and sulfur burps were my nemesis for the first couple months. What finally helped was cutting way back on greasy food around shot day and sticking to smaller portions overall. Still get a random flare-up now and then, but nothing like before.

31 lbs in and mine mostly show up now when I eat too close to shot night. Smaller dinner that evening and riding it out with ginger tea is what got me through the rough ones. They do fade as your stomach adjusts, hang in there.

Mine hit hardest when I ate late and heavy near shot night, so now I keep that dinner tiny and boring and it barely happens anymore. Peppermint tea was my go-to when one snuck through. They did get less frequent the further in I got too.
