Increased intestinal peristalsis results in more frequent bowel movements and potential abdominal discomfort due to heightened digestive tract muscle contractions. The side effect is typically mild and resolves on its own.
Increased intestinal peristalsis refers to an increase in the muscular contractions that propel food through the digestive tract. This can manifest as more frequent bowel movements, abdominal rumbling (borborygmi), and potentially mild abdominal discomfort or cramping. While typically not serious, excessive peristalsis can lead to diarrhea or urgency. The side effect usually resolves on its own as the body adjusts. It may be associated with increased gas production.
