So who WAS the mystery celebrity who fled Gwyneth Paltrow’s home in The Hamptons after suffering an ’embarrassing’ side-effect to the weight loss drug Ozempic?

Speculation has begun over the mystery celebrity who was forced to flee Gwyneth Paltrow’s home after suffering a nasty side effect from the weight loss drug Ozempic.

A growing number of A-list patients are reportedly suffering from unpleasant and debilitating stomach problems, including loss of control over their bowels.

Now, rumours have surfaced of a recent ‘scandal’ in the popular holiday destination The Hamptons, which is being flooded with celebrities in the run-up to US Independence Day next week.

One unfortunate guest, who was rumored to have stayed at Gwyneth Paltrow’s home, suffered a ‘catastrophic’ case of diarrhea.

Rumor has it that one of the guests fled back to New York City to avoid an awkward confrontation.

“Ozempic-induced diarrhea is becoming a very popular topic of conversation among hosts out there – because so many of their guests are using it,” the recent blind item claimed.

‘So please note that the laundromats will be fully booked from July 4th.’

MailOnline is not suggesting that Gwyneth has taken Ozempic or similar drugs, only that rumors are circulating that a guest at her home may have experienced side effects during their stay.

Nor is there any suggestion that any celebrity mentioned or depicted in this story suffers from the specific gastrointestinal side effect described in the blind Popbitch item.

Celebrities who have admitted to using weight loss drugs like Ozempic include Oprah Winfrey, Elon Musk, Sharon Osbourne, Chelsea Handler and Robbie Williams.

In June 2023, comedian Amy Schumer admitted that she had used the drug the year before but stopped because of the side effects.

“I was one of those people who felt so sick,” she said.

Weight-loss drugs work by mimicking GLP-1, a hormone the body naturally produces that slows the passage of food through the stomach, making people less hungry.

It also changes appetite regulation in the brain, making users feel full even though they eat less, and they don’t crave treats.

Clinical trials show that 30 percent of patients experience diarrhea when taking Wegovy, compared to 16 percent when taking a placebo, the drug’s researchers said. prescribing information.

Common side effects of Ozempic include constipation, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain, according to the drug’s label.

Meanwhile, longer-term side effects also occur. One concern is muscle loss: studies with GLP-1 drugs show that about 40 percent of the weight lost is muscle mass rather than 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 problem is gastroparesis, a serious condition in which the stomach muscles are essentially paralyzed and the stomach does not empty, causing patients to vomit up days-old food.

For some patients, the only cure for gastroparesis may be gastric bypass.
