Weight loss drugs, such as Ozambik, Eugov and Monjaro, have recently caused a stir due to the side effects associated with them.
A doctor specializing in digestive diseases said that the human body works in a way similar to that of these valleys, without causing these health problems.
The doctor, Christopher Daman, points out in an article on the website “The Conversation” to Incretin hormones Found in the intestines. These hormones play a role in controlling the processes of catabolism and construction of glucose, and therefore many studies are interested in them for treating diabetes and other diseases of the pancreas and digestive system.
The assistant professor of gastroenterology at the University of Washington School of Medicine says in his article that the nutrients in food help regulate these hormones. The trillions of microbes in the gut are key to coordinating this process.
The previously mentioned weight loss medications are injected once a week into the stomach, thigh, or arm. They are semaglutide, which helps the pancreas release the appropriate amount of insulin when blood sugar levels are high.
While these drugs helped thousands of users lose weight very quickly, one user said in a lawsuit filed against the drug “Wegovi” that she spent a week without the ability to defecate due to lack of bowel movement.
Due to serious intestinal injuries… lawsuits against famous weight loss pharmaceutical companies
The American newspaper “New York Post” reported that some users have filed lawsuits against the company that produces the drug “Ozempic”, which is primarily used to treat type 2 diabetes, but is widely used as an effective weight-loss drug.
Reports stated that a group of individuals filed a lawsuit against the company that produces the drug “Ozambik,” claiming that it caused them gastroparesis, a condition that affects the natural spontaneous movement of the muscles in the stomach.
A woman said she was diagnosed with a “life-threatening bowel injury” after using the drug Ozambik, prompting surgeons to perform an eight-hour operation in the hope of repairing her colon.
In The Conversation report, the doctor points out the role that natural gut hormones and healthy food play in the metabolism and weight loss process, saying that gut bacteria use food components that you cannot digest, such as fiber and polyphenols, and turn them into molecules that stimulate hormones to control your appetite and metabolism.
They include the hormone GLP-1, which is a natural version of Ozambik and Egovi. GLP-1 and other hormones such as PYY help regulate blood sugar, telling the body that it has eaten enough food, and the stomach and intestines slow down the movement of food to allow digestion to occur, which is called the “colon brake.”
Before the advent of processed foods, “metabolic regulatory pathways mediated by healthy bacterial diversity in the gut” used these hormones to regulate metabolism and appetite, but modern foods have suppressed the ingredients that help regulate this process.
The doctor says that removing these main nutritional components, and thus reducing bacterial diversity, has contributed to higher rates of obesity and diabetes.
The aforementioned drugs work in a manner similar to the natural process, and have helped in losing weight, improving blood glucose levels, and improving cardiovascular health, but they are not without side effects that affect the digestive system, such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and constipation.
Other more serious, but rare, side effects include pancreatitis, untreated gastroparesis, and inflammation of the pancreas.
These medications can also lead to a loss of healthy muscle mass and fat, especially if you do not exercise.
The significant weight gain after stopping the medications raises questions about long-term effects.
Journalist Bradley Olson wrote In the Wall Street Journal He takes one of these medications because it helps him resist food cravings and wonders: “What would happen if he stopped?”
In The Conversation article, the doctor believes that a healthy lifestyle “is the most important way to manage metabolic diseases and overall health,” and this includes regular exercise, stress control, good sleep, and a balanced diet.
