Digestive Issues.

I've been taking MTX 12.5mg IM weekly and folic acid 1mg daily for RA for three weeks. I finally got a diagnosis in November, 2024.

I've always had a problem with constipation/IBS-M and it's worsening but I'm managing it with Senokot-S. Over the past week, I've developed a decrease in appetite and I have to sometimes force myself to eat. When I do eat, food just sits in my stomach for hours, sometimes causing nausea. This is not the body I know😩

I'm trying hard to eat nutrient-dense foods, I've decreased my coffee to 24 ounces cold brew in the morning and I drink plenty of water.

I'm wondering if these digestive issues are common while taking MTX and if so, what are some tips in managing them?
