I thought my Mounjaro sulphur burps weren't anything to worry about until I ended up in hospital – don't make my mistake
Plus, what to do if you find yourself losing weight too quickly JAB IT IN I thought my Mounjaro sulphur burps weren't anything to worry about until I ended up in hospital – don't make my mistake Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) FOR many, Mounjaro has been a miracle weight-loss drug, offering hope and a new lease of life. But as one woman discovered, the side effects that seem manageable on the surface can be a sign of something much more serious. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 Vickie has shared a video on TikTok revealing why she has been in hospital Credit: TikTok/@vickie4567 TikToker Vickie has issued a stark warning after a frightening hospital scare, urging others to listen to their bodies and not ignore the warning signs. The video, shared on TikTok by user 'vickie4567', quickly gained over 91.9k views in just a few hours. In it, Vickie recounts her journey, which began three months ago with the successful use of Mounjaro. A passionate advocate for the medication, she revealed she had managed to lose "four or five stone" while on the 5mg dose. Like many on the medication, she had a common, if unpleasant, side effect: sulphur burps, which she admitted to experiencing for many weeks. But a few days ago, those familiar burps were followed by a trip to the hospital. There, after a battery of tests including an IV drip, scans, bloods, and urine, she was given a terrifying diagnosis. Doctors explained that Mounjaro had severely slowed her digestive system. They also suspected a serious and life-threatening condition: pancreatitis, an inflammation of the pancreas, which is a known but rare side effect of the drug. The doctors also linked her ongoing diarrhoea, which she had been treating with loperamide, to a possible bowel twist. I went on fat jabs but the hair loss was unbelievable so I quit - I'd rather be chubby with hair than skinny and bald Vickie's sobering realisation came during her hospital stay. "I have been poorly for a long time," she admits, adding that she had been ignoring a number of symptoms, from feeling sick and having stomachaches to constant headaches. It was a wake-up call to not dismiss the body's warning signs. Her candid story gained 688 likes and spurred a wave of comments. It affects everyone differently TikTok comment While many were sympathetic, others shared their contrasting experiences. One user commented: "Omg mate hope you get better soon that's well bad." While another expressed concern: "Omg! I was on this for a month and considered taking it again but i'm gonna second think about this." 2 She urged people to be aware of their side effects Credit: TikTok/@vickie4567 A third user offered a different perspective, noting: "It affects everyone differently. "I've been on it since December and lost nearly seven stone," adding that the medication had positively impacted their liver health.

I'm a midwife – here's my top tops for new mums to make breastfeeding easier
'I always say, trust your instincts as you know your baby best. If you're struggling, don't hesitate to seek support' BREAST ADVICE I'm a midwife – here's my top tops for new mums to make breastfeeding easier Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) NEW research has discovered that three quarters of Scots mums experience breastfeeding difficulties. Baby lifestyle brand Munchkin has uncovered the significant physical, emotional and practical challenges that lead to nearly half of mums in the UK to stop breastfeeding prematurely. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 3 Marley has come up with advice to encourage continued breastfeeding. 3 Marley Henry believes that the Flow Nipple Shield + can help mums see that their baby is getting enough breastmilk. While 90 per cent of women who stopped breastfeeding within the first six weeks did not want to, but did so due to issues such as latching difficulties, low milk supply, and uncertainty about milk flow. Chief Features Writer MATT BENDORIS speaks to midwife Marley Henry about steps that can be taken to help mums breastfeed their babies for longer. THE benefits of breastfeeding are universally accepted and well known - but not every mother has success feeding their newborn in the most natural way. This can lead to feelings of shame and failure especially but Marley Henry believes that every mum's 'breastfeeding journey' is different. She said: 'There is no shame in finding breastfeeding challenging. 'The most important thing is that you are doing your best for your baby in whatever way works for you. 'I always say, trust your instincts as you know your baby best. If you're struggling, don't hesitate to seek support from a healthcare professional or an infant feeding specialist who can work with you to address any challenges. 'Remember, seeking advice or help isn't a sign of failure, it's a sign of strength and commitment to your baby's well-being.' The research by Munchkin found that the number one reason mums across the UK stop breastfeeding earlier than planned is due to concerns that they were not producing enough milk But there are new products on the market including the innovative Flow Nipple Shield + which is the first-ever nipple shield with a see-through channel. Ferne McCann cruelly mum-shamed for breastfeeding her two-year-old daughter & others also spot 'massive choking hazard' This enables mums to see their milk flow in real-time and continue their breastfeeding journey with confidence. Marley said: 'As a midwife with 16 years of experience, I'm not surprised by what Munchkin has uncovered. 'Their findings that 90 per cent of mums stop breastfeeding due to the challenges they face reflects what I've seen firsthand. 'One of the biggest reasons mums stop breastfeeding before they're ready is the belief that they don't have enough milk, an age-old concern likely stemming all the way back to the 1950s when formula and bottle feeding became the norm.' She adds: 'Today the UK has one of the lowest breastfeeding rates in the world, worsened by limited support for mums who wish to continue breastfeeding. 'Many mums often face latch problems, painful nipples, or feeding challenges with premature babies. 'But Flow Nipple Shield provides a real-time visual of milk flow, which not only addresses latch issues but can also build confidence in milk production, which is a key concern that often causes mums to stop breastfeeding prematurely. Another reason cited by mums is a worry about how others will view them when breastfeeding in public - that's despite breastfeeding being protected under the Equalities Act. Marley said: 'A lack of public breastfeeding-friendly spaces and social stigma often leave mums feeling judged and self-conscious about breastfeeding in public. 'Legislation surrounding breastfeeding has significantly improved, meaning that there is greater access to spaces where mums can feed comfortably. 'For instance, it's now illegal to ask a mother to leave a public space simply because she is breastfeeding. 'However, societal attitudes still have room for growth. We need to keep championing the idea that breastfeeding is not something that needs to be hidden or tolerated, it's a completely normal and natural way to feed a baby. 'Encouraging open conversations, cultural shifts, and better community support will help ensure that all mums feel confident and comfortable breastfeeding, wherever they choose to do so.' The findings also revealed that only 12 per cent of mums in Scotland breastfeed for the first year while the World Health Organisation is working to increase the rate of exclusive breastfeeding for the first 6 months up to at least 50 per cent by the end of 2025. And Marley believes that 'education is the key'. She explains: 'Expectant mothers should start learning about breastfeeding before their baby arrives to build confidence and understanding it works. 'Your body produces small quantities of colostrum in the first few days, which is packed with nutrients and antibodies, but this is normal, and it's important to know that you won't see dozens of wet nappies right away like you might with formula feeding. 'From a medical standpoint, breastfeeding has immense benefits. It provides your baby with essential antibodies and nutrients that boost their immune system. 'While for mums it supports recovery, lowers the risk of certain cancers and supports post-pregnancy recovery by helping the uterus contract and burning extra calories.' She adds: 'But breastfeeding is a beautiful way to bond with your baby. Skin-to-skin contact during feeding releases the 'love hormone' oxytocin, which strengthens your connection and promotes a sense of calm for both of you. 'While breastfeeding is an incredible way to nourish and connect with your baby, preparation and the right support can make all the difference. 'So, don't wait until after your baby arrives, educate yourself while you're pregnant and seek guidance from experts when needed.'

Urgent recall issued for popular Coca-Cola product
A beloved sparkling drink has been pulled from shelves over fears it contains a dangerous amount of a chemical byproduct. Appletiser, a Coca-Cola product, has been recalled over elevated levels of chlorate, which forms after the breakdown of chlorine-based disinfectants in water treatment processes. The recall affects cans with a best-by date of November 30 and December 31, and supermarkets are asking customers to return the product and not consume it. 'Return them to their nearest Sainsbury's store, where they will receive a full refund,' Sainsbury's said. The packs of six drinks with production codes 328 GE to 338 GE have all been recalled. To check the production code, check the base of the can. A similar recall was made earlier this year after elevated levels of chlorate were found in other popular Coca-Cola products. Excessive levels of the chemical chlorate were found in several of the soft drink giant's brands for sale in the UK and EU countries. Coke, Sprite, Fanta and other drinks such as Tropico and Appletiser were affected. Consumption of high levels of chlorate could cause potential thyroid or kidney failure. The European Food Safety Authority explained that high levels of chlorate 'could result in potentially serious health effects, especially among infants and children'. Days ago, a batch of SPAR Chèvre Goat Cheese 100g was recalled over fears it may contain dangerous Listeria monocytogenes bacteria. Horgan's Delicatessen Supplies has issued an urgent recall of the products, which have a use-by date of 12 August 2025. The implicated products were distributed both to Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. More Trending The Food Standards Agency (FSA) has told cheese fans to return the affected products to the shops, where customers will be given a full refund. Warnings will be displayed in all retail stores selling the product, the FSA added. The recall comes weeks after an 'extensive outbreak' of listeria monocytogenes in Ireland linked to ready meals produced by Ballymaguire Foods. A range of chicken curries, lasagnes, bolognaises, pasta bakes, cottage pies, and chow mein dishes were all affected by the recall, with one person being killed.
