A short video commentary by Dr. Tabatha Barber warning about gastrointestinal side effects of GLP-1 weight-loss drugs (Ozempic, Wegovy). The speaker emphasizes common side effects — nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, appetite loss — and raises concern about slowed GI motility and reported cases of stomach paralysis (gastroparesis).
Ozempic and WeGovy and all of these drugs. The biggest side effect that they cause are gut issues. The most frequently reported side effects are nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, and loss of appetite. So that is how they're helping you lose weight, is you are not hungry. And I've heard so many stories of women who had to literally force themselves to eat because they weren't hungry. Your stomach and your intestines slow down their function, and now we're getting reports of stomach paralysis called gastroparesis. So your stomach actually is paralyzed and it stops contracting and pushing food through into your intestines. You guys, this is such a big deal. This is so problematic.
