Celebrities are suffering from a gross Ozempic side effect NO ONE wants to talk about
Weight loss wonder drugs Ozempic and Wegovy are getting rave reviews among influencers and celebrities, but some users aren’t so lucky.
A growing number of A-list patients are reportedly suffering from unpleasant and debilitating stomach and toilet complaints, such as loss of bowel control.
A blind article in the popular gossip newsletter Popbitch reported a recent “scandal” in The Hamptons that is all over the news. Celebrities are flocking to the popular holiday destination in preparation for US Independence Day next week.
One poor guest, who was rumored to have stayed at Gwyneth Paltrow’s house, suffered a ‘catastrophic’ case of diarrhea.
The blind item said the guest fled back to New York City to avoid any awkward confrontation.
“Ozempic-induced diarrhea has become a hot topic among hosts there because so many of their guests use it,” the post read.
‘Please note that laundromats will be fully booked from 4 July onwards.’
Famous people who have admitted to using diet pills like Ozempic include Oprah Winfrey, Elon Musk, Sharon Osbourne, Chelsea Handler and Robbie Williams.

Weight-loss drugs work by mimicking GLP-1, a hormone the body produces naturally that slows the passage of food through the stomach, making people feel less hungry.
It also changes appetite regulation in the brain, helping users feel full even though they eat less. They also have no appetite for treats.

Meanwhile, long-term side effects are also emerging. One concern is muscle loss: Studies with GLP-1 drugs show that about 40 percent of the weight lost is muscle mass instead of fat.
This can have serious health consequences. Not only do you need muscle to burn calories, but in middle-aged and older people, muscle loss (called sarcopenia) is strongly associated with frailty and premature death.
Less common complications of GLP-1 drugs include gallstones, increased heart rate, kidney damage, and pancreatitis – a condition in which the pancreas quickly becomes painfully inflamed.
Another serious concern is gastroparesis, a serious condition in which the stomach muscles become effectively paralyzed and the stomach does not empty, and patients regurgitate days-old food. For some patients, the only cure for gastroparesis may be gastric bypass.
