Oprah Winfrey has been hospitalized with a severe stomach issue, according to her longtime friend and television host, Gayle King. This news comes just a few months after Oprah revealed that she uses weight loss medication to manage her ever-changing weight. Such drugs are often linked to severe stomach issues due to the way they alter the stomach’s functionality. People have reported an inability to have a bowel movement although they desperately want to. Although Oprah has not come out and said the exact reason she has been hospitalized or the specific drugs she uses, it is not difficult to add up the available evidence to get a clear picture of what has been going on.
