BUYER BEWARE –
May 3, 2024 – An influencer revealed that she suffered a diarrhea ‘storm’ and ‘absolute agony’ while taking the blockbuster weight loss drug Ozempic.
Jaime French, a 33-year-old internet personality in St Louis, Missouri, started taking a generic form of semaglutide – the active ingredient in Ozempic …Like most overweight people, I have always struggled to lose body fat, and calorie deficits literally don’t work for me, at least not long term,’ she said in a video last year.
Ms French noted that though she works out often, ‘nothing makes a measurable difference.’ ‘[Ozempic] seemed like a very promising solution,’ she said.
However, immediately after getting her first injection, she said experienced ‘a literal poop storm’ of diarrhea and ‘agonizing’ pain. ‘I was pretty confident it was the drug causing it,’ she said.
