Weekly Live Recap: Food Sensitivity on GLP-1s: Why Foods Feel Different & How to Keep Progress Moving

Updated May 11, 2026From Megan Ostler, RDN

In this week’s live session, Registered Dietitian Megan Osler breaks down a common and often confusing experience on GLP-1 medications: why foods you once tolerated may suddenly feel uncomfortable—and what to do about it.

Megan explains how GLP-1 medications affect digestion and gastric emptying, why symptoms like bloating, discomfort, or food aversions can show up, and how to adjust your eating habits without eliminating foods or losing momentum. This session focuses on practical, reassuring strategies to help you stay confident, nourished, and consistent while your body adapts.

Rather than striving for restriction or perfection, this class emphasizes flexibility, symptom management, and realistic expectations—so you can continue making progress while honoring your body’s cues.

What you’ll learn:

  • Why GLP-1 medications can change food tolerance and digestion
  • How slowed gastric emptying impacts comfort and fullness
  • Simple adjustments to reduce symptoms (portion size, spacing meals, food choices)
  • When enzyme supplements may or may not be helpful
  • Why food sensitivities are often temporary on GLP-1s
  • When to reach out to your care team for additional support
