Mannitol is the filler in our peptide vials right? So you are injecting that.
I think it is used as a stabilizer in some of them yes. In theory though it shouldn't matter in this context.
One, the amount is minuscule. And two it isn't going into your intestines to cause issues.
The problem donkey was running into was this:
GLP-1s slow gastric emptying, so things stay in your gut longer by nature.
Some types of fiber ferment very quickly after ingestion and make gas which causes bloating/pressure intenrally.
Other fibers gel and slow down gastric emptying even more.
So those three things working together caused intense discomfort for days. The gas was trapped, the gelled fiber slowed its ability to move and over all donkey just wanted to stab a straw into his gut to relieve the pressure. I'm not expert (just really discovering all this) but I don't think the few micrograms of mannitol you might pick up from a peptide subq injection would have any impact on the 3 areas above.
