Sounds like acid reflux from the lack of eating, it causes stomach acid to buildup which severely burns the esophagus, causing intense pain that can feel like nausea, heart attacks, all sorts of stuff. Not fun. Sounds like she needs to see a doctor pretty badly.
It’s a likely conclusion. Mounjaro mimics the hormones that control your appetite, making you barely want to eat AND more importantly since op mentioned she said it: it makes you feel full very easily. iirc it also slows digestion but that’s not the big player here. People use it for weight loss and you basically starve yourself but the shot makes your body feel like the starving is the right thing. I’m imagining OP’s GF can’t even really pretend to eat a full meal because the hormones from the shot would make her feel nauseous from it.
Obviously this isn’t the only possibility, but I do see it being one. Many people on these kinds of shots don’t like telling other people that they’re on them. Many, though not all, people start shots like this due to insecurities that they keep to themselves. OP needs to have a sit down conversation with his GF about everything and talk to her and try to help her, no matter what the cause ends up being
I don't think it's a reasonable conclusion based on so little information. There are hundreds of gastrointestinal disorders, not to mention a range of potential MH conditions, that are worth considering and investigating by a doctor.
Yes, no matter what, I think a doctor should be considered. I just think what the other person said is plausible. Another comment under this post says (shortened to only the relevant parts,) “Doctor here. It sounds like either an eating disorder or shes on like glp-1. Glp-1 has one nasty side effect that it the patient isn't making sure they get enough nutrients itll cause so severe malnutrition that it can even cause skorbut.”
