If you haven't heard, Ozempic, the blockbuster medication for diabetes and weight management, is causing stomach paralysis. From what I can piece together from recent news articles, individuals took Ozempic and developed full-blown stomach paralysis even after discontinuing the medication.
Ozempic is a GLP-1 receptor agonist - it mimics or acts in a similar fashion to the hormone GLP-1 that our body naturally produces.
And in medical terms, stomach paralysis is called gastroparesis, defined as a slowing of gastric emptying or how quickly food is going from your stomach to your small intestine.
So, what's causing this stomach paralysis? is it Ozempic? or something else?
Have you experienced stomach paralysis while taking Ozempic? Let me know in the comments!

My "side effects" have never stopped after I quit saxenda over 4 years ago. Dr's kept telling me it "couldn't " have caused my issues. So much pain, so many hospital trips, malnutrition, hair loss. Finally some validation
Saxenda is the worst one! Patients at the office i worked for had terrible side effects with it more than all the others!
What side effects are they?
I had the same issues after I stopped taking it. My stomach was constantly in pain and was always nauseated. After two years of this I found out I had gastropareses.
Most doctors get kick backs for drugs they push, so you HAVE to research and rely on your own knowledge of what you’re putting in your body. Ozempic, Wegovy and Mounjaro can all lead to gastroparesis, just look it up. I literally despise when a doctor says well it’s possible, maybe, can’t say for sure when it’s the only drug you’re taking. If you’re getting answers like that it’s time to find an ethical doctor or one that doesn’t need to go back to medical school.
@@kimbaker4352 and cause pancreas disease its bad drug shouldn't be allowed to pass to human body shit
I'm so so glad things are working out for me. Been on Ozempic over a year and after the first 2 months I'm back normal with 2-3 bowel movements a day🎉
I agree. Why are we just now hearing about this? Like you said, is this occurring with weight loss patients or diabetics? Because I never heard these complaints with them. I have been doing fine with Wegovy for about 5 months now. Occupational slight constipation, but since titrating up, I manage to go at least twice a day now. I am on 1.7mg for the 2nd go round now because I decided to stay put on this dose because it's doing fine for me.
I am just curious, are diabetics complaining or non-diabetics. Ozempic has been on the market for awhile just wondering why this was never mention before. Just my thoughts
Political motivation
The articles don't mention much of anything other than ozempic and stomach paralysis.
@@RollingTwentiesPhotographylmao…
I was wondering the same thing
From what I hear, the (much) higher dose of Semaglutide was only recently approved by the FDA, in 2022. These newer high dosages had NOT previously been lab tested, but because the medication itself was already approved, it was released as "post market data." So basically, the people taking it *are* the experiment/"lab rats" (for lack of a better term.
On Ozempic about 18 months. Yes I had horrid side effects but I consulted my Dr. And we found easy solutions. Sulphur burps Gas X worked wonders, nausea and vomiting sucked but we found the Gas X and some over the counter nausea stuff actually worked for me, I just take it the day prior to my dose and for the next 2 days. My A1c dropped from a 12 to a 4.5 and because I don't crave sweets or fatty foods I have lost 112 lbs. I just had an endoscopy and a colonoscopy and both had the best results I've ever had. My liver scans showed vast improvement. So for me it has definitely been a life saver. I don't know if I would recommend the weight loss Wegovy because of the side effects, I probably would have quit taking it. But for my diabetes I kept going. I'm glad I did. I am also glad I have an amazing Dr who had me in to do checks every few weeks those first months.
I can't take Pepto so my husband told me to get Maalox so that is on my list. The nausea and diarrhea is killing me. Gas X is my best friend lol Ginger Tea helps also and laying on left side.
@@Koakoa45 try the Dramamine anti nausea one that definitely helped me. I get the one that doesn't make me sleepy.
I was prescribed this, will not take it considering I already have stomach problem. I will watch my diet and work out.
Thanks for creating this video. It put my mind at ease.
🥰🥰
Hey Dr. Dan, really nice video! I was wondering if I could help you edit your videos and also make highly engaging shorts out of them.
Send me some thoughts of how they could be improved to healthcare.evolve@gmail.com
I have been on ozempic for 5 months have lost 15 lbs, my bowel movements have greatly improved. My appetite has diminished greatly which obviously contributes to the weight loss. I will stay on it as long as my dr prescribes it
This is the experience for most
15 lbs in 5 months? I imagine that could be greatly accelerated if combined with balanced meals and moderate exercise.
11.5 Lbs in 19 days at 0.25mg. For me , hiking and biking.@@codename495
You could lose the same weight in less time by just eating less and working out.
He’s been doing well, yet you want to change that? Jeepers. Control your own life. @@codename495
I have Type II diabetes and I have been taking Ozempic (semaglutide) 1.0mg/week since August 2022, without major issues. It has enabled me to achieve better HbA1c results whilst drastically reducing my intake of bolus and basal insulins.
I am aware that many people who take Ozempic suffer nausea and are then prescribed Zofran (Ondansetron). I recall, circa 2001, when I was working in anaesthesia in the UK, a young woman suffering gastroparesis after being prescribed Ondansetron alone. This proved long-lasting and required surgical intervention. She had no other pre-existing health issues. She had become nauseous whilst working as a cabaret singer on a cruise liner and was given the Ondansetron to counter sea sickness.
It would be interesting to see data on the Ozempic-taking patients who suffer gastroparesis and if they are taking antiemetics.
this drug ok I on 1mg but recent I lost my immune system had blisters my bottom lip big skin disease growing I never been that sick this drug stop me eat veggies certain heathy foods stuff this drug
I m on ozempic for 1 day . I m having stomach cramps i m grumpy lack of sleep .
did u know taking this shit cause pancreas damaging I was on it a year im off it now 7 weeks stuff that stuff causes more problems down the track I wish I never had it silly dr told me to take this shit I never had problems take it u need start 0.25ml for a few months before u jump to 1ml stuff that drug
@@toralmehta543 u need be on small dose 0.5 ml for 2 months before u go on 1ml doctor need tell u this also dont take it it causes pancreas problems u need to read loo TH-cam want to lose weight eat healthy lettuce box choy no fatty food plan what u eat u lose weight
@@toralmehta543 what u on 0.25 or 1 ml
What also needs to be taken into consideration is what side effects people are reporting to their providers. From experience, I know that patients will lie about their side effects in hopes of a dose increase because they are chasing complete appetite suppression. That being said, if they aren’t having bowel movements but claim they are and the provider increases the dose, I can see how “permanent” paralysis would occur.
Yes. I have been blown away by the side effects people will endure in the name of weight loss. Says alot about how our society needs to change.
@@theofficialdrdanI can’t eat at all and I’m not even on ozempic but my doctor still thinks I’ll benefit from it.
@lucyleftthebuilding99 maybe because Amelia wants to emphasize that her doctor is suggesting that she take something that she is reluctant to do?
To me, it is a very relevant comment.
Eat a cheeseburger already. Jeez. @@AmieDeLalla
My doctor put me on the lowest dose and I've been on it for 2 months. I'm type 2 diabetic and my doctor wanted me to try this out becaude she told me insulin that i normally take can cause weight gain and with me being extremely obese she tought this could be a good thing for me. When i started taking Ozempic, my husband and i did an extreme diet change....we omitted all grains, sugars, anything processed and all of the bad oils and foods in the nightshade family. Started eating more proteins and green vegggies. And because of the higher amounts of protiens and with intermittent fasting we aren't eating alot. We notice for both of us (he isn't on Ozempic) our frequency of 💩 are way different now) so i can't say my gastric "issues" arent from Ozempic cause i changed so many variables. But i my constipation isn't causing me any discomfort but when i finally go....i gotta go and i can tell i need to go soon cause i start to be gasy. After about 2-3 days if i haven't gone i take a laxative. And prior to being on Ozempic my blood sugars in the morning were about 120 if not better. So i don't know and so far I've lost about 22 pounds. My husband has veen hearing all of this and has concerns but like most of y'all have mentioned alot of people who are taking it aren't diabetic
Likely if no issues at present you will be OK
Been on 0.25 for 4 days now. The first change was hard poops. second 3.8lb loss. 😁😁
there crazy taking this if not a diabetic but all crazy having this drug fullstops damages u pancreas and liver shit I bee off it 7 weeks I was on 1mg a year never again yes healthy eating u lose weight and everyday eating u live longer correct less problems in life u consipation buy pears and prunes this works wonders
I have gastroparesis from muscular dystrophy and when I heard how people felt on ozempic I questioned how anyone would want to feel like they had gastroparesis willingly. I would not wish it on my worst enemy. I openly wondered whether people’s stomachs would return to normal after going off ozempic. The risk reward profile makes sense if you have diabetes but if it is purely for weight loss at a normal weight or where lifestyle changes would be effective for weight loss then the risk/reward profile is very different.
Yes. Every patient must be evaluated for that exact reason
I was wondering the same thing. My 23 year old daughter has gastroparisis and she’s not even diabetic. I thought only people with diabetes has gastroparisis but that’s not the case with my daughter. Everyday 24/7 she’s in pain and can’t eat and vomiting. She has tried many times to commit suicide cause of the pain and nobody believes her. I believe her and her brothers. I dnt wish this on anyone.
I got gastroparesis from ozempic. It lasted a couple of months after stopping but I'm fine now. I would vomit up food I ate 7 days prior. Then one day it happened with chicken and I got severe food poisoning. It was the sickest I've ever felt.
@@aakkkbbb food poisoning should be independent from the gastroparesis. Once in your stomach it shouldn’t then cause you to develop food poising days later if the chicken was cooked due to the acidic environment. Just having food stay in your stomach for that long comes with their own set of complications. Happy that you recovered. Don’t wish Gastroparesis on anyone.
@amyseaden9069 the hospital said it was food poisoning. I had cooked the chicken myself freshly and all the way through. My kids and 2 other adult guests I cooked for didn't get sick. My food just didn't digest. It would sit there and rot and I was constantly throwing up rancid food. One day it was so rancid I got food poisoning and it was so horrific and painful it was definitely caused by the delayed gastric emptying.
I’m diabetic and please don’t do it guys. Trust me the paralysis is unbearable
Thank you
And best wishes to you!
I am diabetic and took ozempic for 4 months. Not only did I not loose weight, I also developed severe gastritis and fat liver. I did not have nausea but two hours after a meal I was so bloated it was hard to breathe. Iwas not bloated at meal times and even felt hungry. This is so weird!
I get it however i would love to know exactly what was on your diet because if you never loss weight - its becuz you where NoT in a calorie deficit - thats clear
@@toddpa-c3826 I am on a low carb diet usually due to my diabetes. I lost weight initially albeit very slowly. Got started on Ozempic to break the plateau.
Counting are not a reliable way of dieting because they are absorbed differently according to each person. There are quite a few scientific articles regarding this subject but if you just look at people around you you’ll be able to ascertain that without much reading.
The fact is that after stopping Ozempic and getting treated for gastritis, and taking probiotics I restarted losing weight again. I am just searching for an explanation out of curiosity, not looking for a lecture.
I am diabetic and I did the intermittent fasting and calorie deficit on Ozempic. I lost no weight and was constantly bloated. It helps with my A1c, but awful for weight management. I do better with weight loss without it.
My doctor put me on Ozempic when my labs came back with Type 2 Diabetes on 5/2/23. One thing I have learned is everyone reacts to Ozempic differently. For me, I started the diarrhea from the get go and I had no control over my bowels. There would be seepage all thru the night and many times I could not make it to the bathroom in time. I was able to slow it down tremendously by using 2 different fiber supplements and with trial and error it was manageable. By the 15th or 16 week my body finally adjusted and I now have normal bowel movements. Today will be 18 weeks and I’ve lost 37 pounds. From the beginning, I did not follow a specific diet but just ate lower carbs, medium to high protein and medium fat. I also did the 18/6 daily fast with my eating times between noon and 6 pm… 2 meals, no snacks and bulletproof coffee upon waking. I believe this way of eating is what made the difference for me and Ozempic changed my relationship with food so it was not very difficult to follow. In fact, I was more concerned about losing the weight too fast … what a problem to have … LOL! Throughout this time I never increased the dosage… stayed at the lowest dose .25 mg injected in the stomach.
@@tegayle7961 your comment was really helpful, thank you so much 😊
I think there are quacks out there prescribing big amounts and also upping the dosage a lot. People will PAY to lose weight so as long as the professionals are prescribing it people will take it.
There is some likely!
Been taking O for about 6 weeks @ .25mg once a week. Increased the dosage to 1mg and I’ve noticed two new issues within a day after my weekly shot (1) slight upset stomach, nothing major, I just know I feel strange (2) constipation that last for about a day, then soon after everything returns to normal. Not really noticing any weight loss in fact, it seems like I’m gaining with an increase in appetite. But my A1c is definitely trending down (I have type 2 diabetes).
Need to still be in a calorie deficit for weight loss to occur. Would recommend tracking your calories!
Calories from fruit are not absorbed the same as, for example, calories from a steak or pasta. Insuline spikes leads to weight gain. Calories is an abstract notion.
@Rita-qp6xs No the carb insulin model has been debunked. This is incorrect and not even a correct interpretation of the theory.
@@theofficialdrdan
Sure.
It might be a combination of things but I didn't suffer from gastroparesis before I was put on Ozempic to lower my A1C.
Wait. Isn’t that the whole mechanism in how these meds work?
A medication that causes nausea and a medication that stops the feeling of hunger ? Humm?
Nausea( to the point of vomiting ) causes damage overtime - some diabetics already have neuropathy- so in my opinion ….
The ozempic is causing the damage . It’s all in the nervous system, the more damage to the nerves the more damage to the GI system- could potentially even increase malabsorption in some ( speculations) . ( not a doctor , I just like to read and research a lot )
My sister has been on for over 3 yrs. for type 2. Zero problems. I've been on for almost 9 months. I'm at .75, and I do not lose my appetite. I don't intend to raise it and neither does my Dr. I'm losing slowly and hopefully safely.
My triglycerides were high, family history of bad heart issues. I'm insulin resistant, but hoping by losing 50 lbs i can dodge diabetes. Im literally the last in my immediate family to get diabetes. I also have lymphedema, and remarkably, Ozempic is seeming to helping remove the excess fluid.
Im actually wondering what dose this poor person was on and how aggressively they increased the dosage.
Hopefully we will get more details in the future.
I read an article that They were on 1mg and their doctor told them to keep taking it even though they ended up in the emergency room several times.They took the medication for a year! Why?
2 people 2 people 2 people. Millions take this medication. State the number.
Data point of one: I was getting semaglutide shots from The B12 Store here in Georgia. I started at the lowest dose and noticed minimal weight loss and no stomach paralysis after 4 shots.
I had the nurse up the dosage and saw about 5lb weight loss as well as inches off my stomach within 4 weeks. After the last shot, I started experiencing stomach paralysis. Very difficult bowel movements. I haven't had any shots in about a week and a half and I'm hoping my situation will improve. No more semaglutide for me.
Me neither. Been struggling with paralysis for 6 weeks now from.taking that ctap..has your improved? What did you do? Desperate for answers
Thanks for your video and for being as fair balanced as one can be with what is known regarding causative affect or association of this rarely reported serious event. Could you post the references to the articles reporting serious adverse event, gastroparesis, during/after semaglutide use you where referring to?
www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/ozempic-mounjaro-paralyzed-womans-stomach-183132552.html?guccounter=1
My fiancé was told she has gastropesis sorry for the misspelling from taking this drug. She was admitted to the hospital because shes been throwing up for months and not able to eat or drink anything. She was told to stop taking the semi glutide shots. My question is how long will it take her to recover from this. Ive read some comments of 5 to 6 weeks how did yall manage to eat or drink. She's already taking alot of nausea meds and a nausea patch.
did you finance get better
@@jessd2604 yes after 4 weeks of throwing up every hour.
I thought it was irreversible.
I haven’t taken ozempic and i have gastroparesis, however; i am severe case of type2 diabetes, i wonder if metformin was involved.
I was waiting for to hear your stance Tx you!
My pleasure!
Is that drug you mentioned for symptoms- why not use 8mg of Zofran ?
That may be a better option.
Zofran does not help in this case
I have taken zofran PO personally since been on Ozempic 2mg due to nausea personally- and since Zofran works in the Mind and CNS - takes care of my issues 💯for my nausea over say Raglan which promotes gastric emptying
thank you very much i have been in ozemoic for about 3 years
had some vomiting and bad Diarrhea so my endocrinologist backed me down to .25 was on .5
helped some but had two bad bad episodes in july maybe i overate but was miserably painful
going back to see her might try mounjaro to see
anyways i appreciate your videos
and follow u
mike k
Thank you :) Good luck!
Thank you for sharing all of this information. Another speculation I have is that many people struggling with obesity are already struggling with their mental health and food is a coping mechanism. If Ozempic takes away the will to eat and new coping mechanisms haven’t been developed, one could spiral pretty hard.
Def and that is why people.need to be properly screened.
@@theofficialdrdan I would think their doctor should know that and a good doctor will monitor this medication. Mine is.We email every week.I read an article about a woman that was vomiting all the time and ended up in the emergency room several times. She wanted to sue.She was on a high dose of Ozempic for over a year! Her doctor told her to stay on it, then she developed Gastroparesis. That is her doctor's fault.Why would any doctor tell her to stay on that medication?My journey has been a long one.Started at 300 lbs before finding out I was a diabetic. I was about 260 pounds when I first found out. I was in the hospital for a few days. I lost 60 pounds from changing my diet and exercising. I have pretty much stayed the same size for several years. I would gain and lose 15 pounds. I found new things to help me. Taking Ozempic at a low dose along with changing even more things ,I have finally gotten over that plateau and now need to lose 30 lbs.Before it was 70! I started taking it last week in April this year. Most side effects are headache,nausea, some constipation.you don't want to eat very much which is normal.My AlC is going to be really good.My clothes are lose.Will need to buy some soon.To me the side effects are worth it. If I was sick and in the emergency room I would not take this medication and I am sure my doctor would not fill it. I am not going to be Obese any longer very soon. That outweighs the side effects for me.I am also, not an emotional eater. I am too busy for that.The doctors writing this medication should get some of the blame.They will if there is a big lawsuit. Novo Nordisk needs to put a Black Box warning on this drug, so there is no misunderstanding what can happen.
@lucyleftthebuilding99 Nothing 😂😂
That’s with any obesity drug or procedure. That’s why people that had obesity surgeries used to have to go through lots of pre surgery mental health coping therapy as a requirement. Because it’s known that after surgery, many either go back to poor eating or binge eating stretching out their new egg size stomachs or they develop other types of addictive behavior such as drugs or alcohol, gambling, shopping addictions, etc. but all that really doesn’t have to do with gastroparesis development. Many already have some form gastroparesis either from pre diabetes or diabetes.
@@TheRealdal I had to see the shrink first, 2019 to get VSG.
I have suspected that I have Gastroparises, I have an endoscopy coming up in a few weeks, I ordered semaglutide online and took first injection in my stomach yesterday afternoon, ate a little while after. 6 hours later I was throwing up, felt like a brick in my stomach. 24 hours later I still feel like the food is undigested and can still taste it when I burp. Can’t move around much or I get nauseated. Is it normal for these side effects to hit so fast? I still can’t eat anything and can only take small sips of water. Miserable.
doesn't the delayed gastric emptying stop after awhile? I think you mentioned it in your "meds stopped working" videos
Yup it is a transient side effect!
This is nothing new. This problem has been around as long as Ozempic has been prescribed. You are hearing more about this because now so many people are taking it now.
Not quite. Full stomach paralysis is new. Slowed gastric emptying is not.
Could you please share what’s safe to take for nausea?
Ondansetron is a possible option. Would depend on the individual. I would talk to your doctor!
Hello Dear. I been on OZEMPIC since July , did my first 4 ( .25) shots in my stomach, today I’m on my second (.5mg ) I’m taking my shot in my thighs , no symptoms no nausea or headaches. It was a study and they find out that doing the shots in your thighs you basically have no side effects. I was very nervous on my .5mg , because I was going in a Vacation Cruise , to my surprise I feel grate and I was able to eat. The only thing I notice is that I was a bit tire , some one mention Vitamin B12 and I started taking them.
Ginger, Zofran
I had gastro paralysis on semaglutide. It was awful! I’m still suffering the effects, more than a month later.
It will take at least 5 weeks to clear ones system.
What did you do to improve it? Desperate
I m diabetic after oral meds gave me side effects. They tried ozempic. Since 6 days i cant eat anything dull abdominal pain. If i eat something spasms increases😮. Nausea i m drinking lemon water. What is the alternative?
GLP 1 burnout. Gastroparesis can also be caused by diabetic neuropathy in people with A1C greater than 7-8 or more.
I still take the drug after being part of the drug trial and a gastric bypass. My A1c is now staying around 5. However, it has not been a weight loss drug for me not have I had any side effects of note. My medical team is considering tapering my dosage as my modest diet and exercise plan have been successful. Winging it is not a good idea. If you have any issues or concerns see your doctor asap.
🙏🙏
Developed severe acid reflux resulting in precancerous condition of my esophagus, one md said he had never seen anything this bad before. Controlled, well controlled diabetes 25 years, only on metformin. Wish I had known.
Sorry to hear about that friend!
I wonder if you had a complete stomach removal, gastronomy if this issue would not be a concern? Since food would be digested in the intestines, I would think there would be no issue using Ozempic or Mounjara?
Yes and no. Depending on the remaining aspects, glp1 medications can cause slowing throughout the gi tract. Lots of unknowns
I already had gastroparesis with a hiatal hernia and I became diabetic because I can’t eat certain food. Probably wouldn’t be a good idea for me lol
It's all in the news, quite concerned. Any early symptoms to warn you & hopefully the person can stop using Ozempic before your stomach is paralyzed?
Wow. I was doing great until I wasn't. Switched back to Saxenda. Still bad. Needed wegovy to get out of my system. Stopped taking Saxenda for a couple days. Feeling much better. Now I'm hesitant to return to it. But losing 31 lbs has been such an improvement in my everyday life, and I've got plenty more to go... I am so on the fence.
@sarahburrier9123 can I ask? Are you diabetic? Not that it makes a difference to me, but wonder if it effects those who are diabetic differently?
@@beckiingawanup8130 I am not diabetic. I started on wegovy, then the shortage happened, which was the reason for switching to saxenda. Then when I had titrated up to the highest dose of Saxenda we went to the 1.7 wegovy which was not affected by the shortage. I think that was too bug of a jump and started all the issues for me.
We have such limited details on the cases reported. If you are having severe gi side wffects these might not be the drugs for you.
This seems like a lot of risk to avoid exercising and eating right on a daily basis.
You have to eat very well
While on GLP meds. And you a shave to exercise. So your comment makes no sense. I think the majority of those on these meds eat way better than the rest of the population. I always wondered why you people are so obsessed with this content if it doesn’t pertain to you. Your life must be so empty and meaningless.
I take TRULICITY and ever since I start this once a week shot I've been constipated..I could go days without pooping, scares me.. I told my doctor she gave me stool softeners..🙄
Sorry to hear that friend!
I been on Trulicy for 8 months. I also have dealing with conspaton.
I told my Doctor. Same thing sofner.
I have found out that probiotics are the best.
Prune juice. ECT.
This is so scary 😢
Been on Ozempic for 7 months now and all of a sudden all I do is puke and extreme diarrhea. I am going to call my doctor to see if I can go back down the .50 dose as the 1.0 is doing me in, been on it 14 weeks now at 1.0. I take my shot on Monday and sick until late Wed. so bad I sleep with a freaking trash can to puke in. Puking is the least of the issues - it is the extreme diarrhea that is actually making me nauseous. Ginger Tea helps, laying on left side etc.. but I am so done with this. yes my A1C is 5.8 now but not sure it is worth it. Also I have Hyperthyroidism - which I found funny cause I was obese, guess insulin won the hormone war cause of my diabetes. Now that I am losing weight and blood sugar under control. working on thyroid issue. I know it is causing my heart palpitations and other things so it could be making ozempic side effects worse, who knows?
I already have gastroparesis if i eat carbs. Ozempic made my lipoedema grow worse. I was a mild stage 1 and now a stage 2. Wish id never touched it, it was horrendous. No way is it good for you and I shudder to think of the long term results.
Sorry to hear that, friend. Unfortunately, lipoedema is a chronic and progressive disease so it will get worse over time with or without drug. And ozempic can help to some degree, but the disease itself is challenging to manage outside of surgery.
Please can you give us medical evidence to support your claim?
Reviewed in the video we are waiting for case reports to be published....
I so appreciate you!

Thank God! Its not the Brain😂😂😂

Well isn’t that actually not a bad thing in general that a sleeve was used. As a T2D myself - our issue is eating to much bad crap…. That Sleeve should continue to keep her in check
Yes and no. Diabetes has a lot of underpinning factors. Further having to undergo surgery when you didn't plan to is never ideal
Gastroparesis is a very bad thing , with a decreased life expectancy and lifelong negative repercussions to quality of life . There is no cure , only management .
As someone with gastroparesis due to muscular dystrophy I would not wish it on my worst enemy. I have vomited so much in my lifetime. My teeth have been affected by all the vomiting and my awful diet. I have a very limited diet and often a liquid or soft diet. I would kill for a salad, fruit and a steak or burger. I can only eat a limited amount of things. I qualify for a feeding tube but a JG tube comes with it’s own set of complications so am resisting until I have zero options. I am chronically malnourished. I have to get an iron infusions because I can’t take any oral tablet without ending up in the ER the next day. I take Carnitine because I barely eat any protein which has also affected my muscles. I have ended up in the ICU with starvation ketoacidosis with electrolyte imbalances and weighing 90lbs. Due to a Covid wave that hit as I was in hospital I didn’t get a feeding tube put in after that stay but almost ended up on TPN with a PICC line and had to slowly learn how to eat again. Imagine the first day of a bad case of gastroenteritis with just vomiting and the severe nausea that comes with it and imagine existing like this for most of your day everyday. Don’t think a sleeve is how most with GP are treated and sleeve also has seriously health implications.
I already have the Sleeve does that make me immune ? lol@@theofficialdrdan
People just trying to be trolls . He didn’t give any stats or anything .
Cause we don't have any?
I was rushed to the hospital due to Ozempic. I have several health issues from being on it a short period of time. My Gastroenterologist explained that a small subset of people can’t tolerate it in any amount and an even smaller subset it will take 6months to a year to completely recover,but I have gastroparesis,blurred vision,a blind spot in my left eye. I was projectile vomiting and when I got to the hospital my potassium was so low,that they gave it to me in IV and tablets in water. I was given a CAT scan and I had no blockages but now I’m having several is that so was not having before
Hope you are continuing to follow up with your doctor.
I am on Zoloft too and sometimes taking gravol for my nausea from oz and Zoloft both. Is this something bad for me?
You would have to follow up with your doctor to know.
@@theofficialdrdan thank you
Took my wegovy shot 4 days ago and after that I have been feeling completely unwell. Vomiting and diarrhea, sulphuric burps that leave my esophagus feeling like it’s on fire.
I have barely eaten anything yet I’m not hungry at all.
But these past 4 days have been the worst of my life, so I’m stopping cold turkey and can’t wait for my stomach to (hopefully!) return to normal.
You should be A-OK!
I believe so too, just waiting for the half-life to bring the drug back down to a manageable dosage for me@@theofficialdrdan
Sucks for didn’t have those problems
I’m feeling perfectly fine again now. Took 4 days of constant burping, diarrhea, vomiting and stomach pain. On the final night I kept vomiting clear water, but when I finally fell asleep and woke up the following day I felt completely back to normal.
When accounting for half-life I was at 3mg wegovy when I started feeling bad.
You took the highest dose to start. You must start low. That happened to me
All signs point to this being the new Phen/fen
I wouldn't go that far.
Terrible comparison.
I was told this was a risk for diabetics and its a zero to nil chance of this happening. Idk.. everyone seems to be speaking about the same person
Ozempic as my primary diabetic med almost paralyzed my stomach with just two injections. It was the most miserable feeling not to be able to shit for two weeks. Constant vomiting and acid reflux. Trulicity and Rybelsus is not much better.
Dr. Dan -- a voice of sanity crying in the wilderness of scary headlines and ambulance chasing lawyers.
Thank you 😊. Yes. There are multiple 'lawsuits', but they have years in the courts and have to definitively prove the drug was the cause.
The lady was on it for a 1yr and She a diabetic but she kept on throwing up but I don't know if she ate right or if she was active she was on the green color ozempic and they said that wygon shot too. So she'd getting better little by little it's on TH-cam but the medicine reacts to people different
THE REAL QUESTION IS... HOW MANY MORE TIMES OVER THE RECOMENDED DOSING THEY TOOK...
MY BEST GUESS IS THEY TOOK WAY MORE THAN THEY WERE SUPPOSED TOO
Maybe not. We don't have that info yet!
As a type 2 it would be daft to take more than the 1mg / week dose which is currently the max in the UK
@tomdeffley6435 I used to take 5mg here in the states when I could get it
Dr. Dan can correct me if I'm wrong, but I think semaglutide has a wide therapeutic range. So, taking more than one dose at the same time (technically an overdose) probably won't be toxic. At worst, the patient has wasted an expensive medication.
@@VernCrisler you are correct. You could take a large dose and not die. But you would likely have a lot of side effects until the drug cleared your system.
Dan, great and informative vid (and channel). 👍
Just one thing, though: Don’t know if it’s the acoustics in your recording room or the quality of your mic, but you do sound *very* echo-y and robotic. Consider putting up a couple of cheap acoustic foam panels on the walls, and/or getting a better mic. 🎤
You deserve to be heard better than this. 👌
Yes I am still trying to figure out what happened this video did not come out the way we wanted.
Thank you though my friend 🥰
Victoza caused me to have stomach paralysis I stayed so sick so bad while I took it Dr finally had me stop it & now I'm permanently damaged & I stay so sick can't eat I stay full I just want my life back 😭💔😔
Thats scary. 🤞
Can Berberine cause this as well? 😮
Causes more diarrhea.
It did for me.
Thank you!!
🙏🙏
I take 2 mg per week for last 3 years and no side effects
Why does the vast.majority get constipation? I get diarrhea.
Its not rare for me. I had Gastroparesis already in 1998. I would not like it again, no thanks! Absolutely not.
This medication is flat out evil.
I was so sick when I took ozempic thought I was going to die horrible drug side effects
good video stuff ozempic was ok now since I on it my immune system shut down and was very sick slowly trying to build my body up as this drug stop u eating good food
Screw ozempic, i rather take berberine
Giv'er.
I been going through this for a year😢😢😢😢 I go to the Bathroom Maybe once a week
This should definitely help her reverse her T2D for sure …
Possibly!
Lose weight the honest way please, if you stop your stomach from working properly you will lose more then weight. Your health will go down the toilet instead of your food. Just be mindful of how much processed food and sugar you take in. Cutting out crap food is actually FREE.
Honest way? Can you elaborate? What is honest weight-loss?
@@theofficialdrdan I think they meant lose weight the HEALTHY old-school way. You know, by eating a healthy diet and exercising more, rather than pumping yourself full of Big Pharma poison.
That happened when i overindulged on chocolate almond bark. Gotta mind the diet on this stuff.
Yes smaller portions is important
@@theofficialdrdan I have noticed in my Ozempic/wegovy support group that a lot of people ignore the diet and exercise because they think the injection will do the job.
Then they complain about paralyzed stomach, constipation, vomiting, etc. you have to work with the injection, or the side effects will happen.
I'm never getting off of ozempic this doesn't scare me.
If it's working for you and no issues there shouldn't be a problem.
I’m willing to risk it….
I will pray for you and your stomach.
As someone who has had longterm gastroparesis would not wish it on anyone. Once your weight is reduced and have better blood sugar control the risk/reward profile changes and that should be discussed with your doctor.
It should. I was doing great on my own tracking food and walking several miles a day. They think I have this now and I didn’t even take any weight loss drugs. I wouldn’t wish it upon an enemy. My brother took ozempic for a couple of months and is fine but after he found out what I am going through he won’t go on any more weight loss drugs
I only take 0.5 mg for my diabetes and I’m dying from the side effects. I don’t understand how women are taking 1-2 mg and still be alive ☠️☠️☠️
Oh oh oh ozempic you know
Oh Too well..
It did it to me Having Problems going to bathroom 😢😢😢😢😢😢
Caused me to have eye twitches this is going straight to the trash😏
Lose weight but wear a bag the rest of your life. Umm...no thanks!
Caused my husband to have an intestinal blicksge
Sorry to hear that
If you take a drug prescribed for something else and get side effects. Well what do you expect!! Take some responsibility for your life choices
This has nothing to do with that. The drug is approved for Obesity. Plus the news stories involve people who have been using it for diabetes. Let's have some compassion for our fellow humans. 💜
😳
Indeed.
Buy a proper mic 🎙️
I am taking donations to afford one!
Do you have any idea how I got it? I didn’t even take weight loss drugs. One day I woke up and realized I couldn’t eat the food I was eating without feeling stufffed. Ended up in the Er 3 times in two weeks lost 17 pounds in 14 days. This has been going on since May 3
My labs have been perfect and I am not diabetic
I am on antidepressants though
