Christina Applegate opens up about struggles during recent health crisis – ‘I felt helpless’

Christina Applegate has shared a shocking health scare on her MeSsy podcast with Jamie Lynn Sigler. The 52-year-old actress revealed that she recently battled a severe case of food poisoning from a takeout salad, which left her incredibly sick. To make matters worse, Christina was also dealing with COVID-19 at the time, after unknowingly contracting the virus from a friend.

After doing a stool test, Christina discovered that she had contracted sapovirus, a virus transmitted through ingesting fecal matter. She described the experience as “unbelievably sickening,” and shared that she was so dizzy and ill that she couldn’t eat or do anything.

In a candid moment, Christina admitted to wearing adult diapers due to her struggles with multiple sclerosis, which often leaves her unable to make it to the bathroom in time. She and Jamie discussed the challenges of wearing adult diapers, noting that they are neither accessible nor attractive.

Despite the difficult health challenges she has faced, Christina and Jamie launched their podcast on March 19 to share their experiences with MS openly and honestly. They hope to inspire others facing similar struggles to push through and find strength in their vulnerabilities.

The podcast episode, recorded in 2023, sheds light on Christina’s recent health battle, highlighting the importance of candid discussions about health and wellness.
