1. The stomach flu or gastroenteritis is an infection of the intestines that can cause watery diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, stomach cramps, and even fever.

2. Most people who get it get over it on their own very quickly. But in the case of infants, the elderly, and people with compromised immune systems, it can be deadly.

3. To prevent the stomach flu you should avoid contact with infected people. Avoid touching things that infected people have touched, avoid eating or drinking contaminated food items, and wash your hands thoroughly and frequently.

4. You should go to the doctor if you can't keep fluids down for more than 24 hours or if you've been having vomiting and diarrhea for more than one or two days. Also, if you are having symptoms of dehydration, have a high fever, and certainly if you have bloody diarrhea

5. Could this be Ozempic? Not likely. Now Ozempic can cause a side effect called gastroparesis which can lead to nausea, vomiting, and stomach cramps. But according to Oprah five other people in her household have the same stomach flu symptoms. Ozempic side effects are not contagious.

Oprah is very open. If Gail hadn't informed us, we wouldn't be having this conversation. Thank you, Dr. Frita, for educating us. We appreciate you.

She’s on that Ozempic. I bet you that has something to do with it and they don’t want people to know !

[sparkleinyoureyes]

I was shock when Gail first spoke out about Oprah being hospitalized but I’m sure she had already spoken to Oprah before making that public not unless they on bad terms at the moment which I daunt. I hope she’s doing better because she is getting up in age. 😮😅

Gail was messy as hell for telling ALL of Oprah’s bathroom business. I was stunned but not surprised. I would be pissed if she was my friend. Then again, none of my friends would do something so stupid! 😳😬🤨😱👀🤦🏾‍♀️🤷🏾‍♀️

I thought she had that shot ozempic that wasn't a stomach flu 😮😮😊

[AudreyDavis-wc]

Im a 1! I believe Oprah’s I was recently hospitalized due to dehydration caused by diverticulitis

[Dennis.Delfina]

My husband just had it and he ended up giving it to me. It's awful. I didn't eat anything for 2 days. We had no fever.

Some people will do anything to lose weight other than pushing back from the table and exercising.

[CassandraMc-ck]

It’s the Ozempic I couldn’t tolerate it the diarrhea is real….😢if she stops it it resolves in a week.

[CherrylJohnston]

How does a person truly know what a sick person touched? We don't know unless in a sick person is in our home😊

[vanessaclark]

Yes Ozempic did me this way 😞😞 just Me, I stop it. Got very sick 🤢🤢

[jaiyabyrd]

"Gayle told all her business" took me out...😆😅😭😂🤣😆🤣😂😭

[apriltropet]

I think it’s the side effects from Ozempic. No disrespect. Everyone knows you can’t take just anything without side effects

[amencal]

Gail told? What did Stedman have 2 say?

[irismarie]

I had this in college as well as meningitis (not simultaneously).
