Christina Applegate has given a candid account of a truly horrifying health experience she recently faced - and it should come with a warning.
The 52-year-old actress opened up about the alarming episode on her latest installment of her MeSsy podcast with Jamie Lynn Sigler.
Christina revealed she'd fallen victim to a serious bout of food poisoning from takeout salad.
At the time, she was also battling COVID-19 after a friend unknowingly passed the virus on to her.
She did a stool test which confirmed she had contracted sapovirus and it made her unbelievably sick.

She continued: "I was so dizzy. I was so sick, I couldn't eat, I couldn't [do] anything."

But this brings me to my next point, which we can talk about: I'm wearing diapers."
Christina previously confessed that her multiple sclerosis diagnosis often left her unable to get to the bathroom in time and so she wears adult protection even when not suffering from food poisoning.

"So adult diapers are a blush pink usually," the Sopranos actress said. "They usually have some sort of bow or floral design along the pelvic area. And to be honest, Christina and I have talked about this, putting on an adult diaper, you're not gonna feel sexy.

The podcast's Instagram page noted that some parts of the episode were recorded in 2023, so it's not clear if Christina's illness was recent, but no less horrific nonetheless.

Jamie said: "We are sharing the deepest parts of ourselves. It's not about the specific experience we're having. It's us facing something hard and it's about figuring out how to still push through."
