Amy Schumer left 'bedridden' by Ozempic
The comedian revealed she has a genetic predisposition to vomiting, causing her to suffer more than most from nausea and stomach upsets. "I have this gene, GDF 15, which makes you extremely prone to nausea, which is why I was so sick during my pregnancy," Amy, 43, told radio host Howard Stern. Amy gave birth to her son Gene in May 2019 after suffering from hyperemesis gravidarum - a disease sometimes referred to as "severe morning sickness". She explained that when she tried to take Ozempic, she was beset by some of the weight-loss drug's less pleasant advertised side effects such as extreme nausea and uncontrollable vomiting.
