CAGRI + RETA — New Nature Metabolism Study 🧬
-
@MikeMiranda Little update on my Reta/Cag journey! I'm still consistently dropping around 1.5lbs a week and heavily enjoying the combination. Even better, my recent bloodwork showed positive improvements in my A1C! Those warning signs of prediabetes I was experiencing seem to be fading, so it's pretty damn exciting seeing the numbers moving in the right direction too!
I'll be making a slight increase from 266mcg to 300mcg of Cag this evening. Nothing crazy, just seeing how the combination continues treating me.
All in all, still loving the combination, and seeing those A1C improvements makes it that much sweeter!
@Juliano546 That's fantastic news!

@quicksilver80 miralax, fiber and probiotics help through the constipation. All I know about cag is to start super low especially pairing with reta
@BeeKind And water! Lots of water! I've never had any issues with constipation but last weekend opened my eyes to just how painful it can be.
Pretty sure I was too dehydrated for too long. I've never had pain like that. Based on what I saw, a lot of the issue was not staying hydrated at work. I hurt my back by straining so hard.
0/10 do not recommend. I won't let that happen again. It cost me my pride, a day out of my weekend, my virginity, and a chiropractor visit. -

bro! so rough! Sorry you had to experience these feelings 
yes definitely seconding the water. I was also advised to drink more water. Back to back high gravity in urine analysis trace oxatale crystals in the 2nd. So to avoid a kidney stone doc said drink more water. Its all I consume already, so im just gonna go drown myself that should suffice, right!!
First urine test popped bilirubin and trace blood so wanted to recheck then found oxalate crystal, but no bilirubin or blood so gotta wonder if peps can trigger false positives?
Now for the good news I am no longer pre diabetic I truly award this to Reta and also cannot help but feel Cag also played a hand while in conjunction.

100%! I have been taking miralax and fiber daily for months and it helps a lot. Even on 2-5mg tirz, my GI system pretty much locks up, and MiraLAX solves that - along with the ‘roids. Just make sure you drink plenty of water and get your electrolytes (It’s what plants crave!)
(And my gastroenterology specialist says it’s okay.)
@ResearchCat yes love this
Brawndo!! The Thirst Mutilator!! -
@juliano546 Glad to ear about your progress! There are definitely many benefits of GLP-1’s beyond just the weight loss.

Id rather have the poops than trying to push a brick through the winking eye of a sharpei puppy all night. That being said. 20 ounces of prune juice might have been like bringing a machine gun to a bar room tussle so to speak.

That may be the best description yet. The poor puppy, though. He's going to get pinkeye for sure!
I likened it to trying to get dry dirt clods out of a rubber balloon without tearing it.
As disgusting as prune juice is, I would have welcomed it at that time. It didn't even occur to me. I'll take the machine gun.
