- In an essay published Friday, June 5, Mayim Bialik, 'Big Bang Theory' star and former 'Jeopardy!' host, described a 'nightmare' experience after taking one shot of a GLP-1 medication, citing severe side effects that left her unable to keep down food or water.

- The actress described 'explosive, uncontrollable diarrhea,' sulfur burps so violent she feared opening her mouth in public, and full-body aches; symptoms became so severe she required IV fluids for hydration.
- After stopping the medication, Bialik consulted a gastroenterologist who confirmed her severe reaction was not unusual and stated that GLP-1 drugs 'are extremely disruptive to the body' for non-obesity uses.
- While Bialik emphasized the drugs have helped many patients, she warned 'nobody talks much about what happens when it goes wrong,' joining other celebrities sharing cautionary experiences with GLP-1 medications.
