re: Woman who used ozempic now afflicted with permanent diarrhea

I don't buy Ozempic being a cure-all for losing weight to become healthy. There aren't shortcuts to losing weight and being healthy. The only way that works long term is mostly diet and exercise with diet I think being the bigger part to lose weight moreso than exercise but still matters.

If you think about it, a heavy workout can burn 250 calories. Well, 2 cokes has more than 250 calories. Which would be a net plus in calories. Mostly diet loses weight I think.

It sheds pounds but there has to be many negative long term effects of it. No such thing as a magic pill.

Are the side effects worse for people who don’t really have diabetes or those not truly obese?

Using it to treat pre-diabetes like with this woman seems overkill or a way for doctors to justify prescribing it.

More and more since covid and blm I am seeing doctors skirt around the hippocratic oath. Saw my first woke agreement to not offend anyone and be inclusive or find a new doctor’s office with an upcoming referral from my regular doctor. Besides the unreasonable and one-sided political definitions of “offensive” that will get used in many corporate health networks and multi office chain type doctors’ practices how long before some always offended employee starts searching out patients’ social media and supported politics that they don’t like and getting people kicked out for things the offended had to search out to get offended by and not anything the patient did or said at office or to anyone at office.

WYHI: Chronic Diarrhea Edition

She’s definitely a squirter and does butt stuff which makes her an OT favorite.

Old Style caused the shits for decades and no one sued them.

Dr's have been after wife and I for the last 8 years about A1C being above 7 but less than 8 and pushing drugs to get it lower. Entry level drug required by insurance is Metformin, pooping your pants is most common response. On the other end of cost, 150$/week is farciga sp? With ozempic and trulicity priced in there also. They all work to impair your digestion, with diarrhea . This class of drugs is really impactful, serious. I would never use them for weight lose.

If you're looking for an OTC supplement to lower blood sugar then try berberine.

It doesn't last as long but if you take it with meals it still does a little to lower blood sugar.

Poop your pants one time in a nice restaraunt and you will never again take the easy way out for weight loss

So... a fatty using big pharma isn't advisable as a shortcut to health even though it has consequences leading to lifetime care and increased insurance responsibility and possible litigation?

I agree with you but I'd prefer the low IQ/instant gratification types just take cyanide.
