I've recently started a new medication called lubiprostone and I'm a bit concerned about potential side effects. I've noticed a slight increase in my weight since starting it. Can lubiprostone be a reason for weight gain?

I was recently prescribed this medicine for my chronic constipation, but I am a bit scared to start it. Does it really cause weight gain or bloating? I would be really grateful if anyone who has used it can share their experience.

My son was given this medication for his severe bowel issues. We didn't notice any weight gain, but it did cause some temporary stomach bloating and mild nausea in the first few days. Keep giving them plenty of water to help with the digestion.

Actually yaar, lubiprostone doesn't directly cause weight gain. But because it draws water into your intestines to clear constipation, you might feel a bit of water bloating initially. It goes away once your stomach clears up properly.

This is a strong medicine for stomach clearing, and it should not cause fat gain. But alongside this, try to eat soaked raisins and papaya daily as they are very gentle on the stomach. Do not stop or change your doctor's medicine without asking them first.

No sister, this medicine is only to clean the stomach and it does not increase your weight. Just drink good amount of water with it so that you don't feel any weakness or giddiness.
