Oprah Winfrey is recovering after a stomach virus prompted a visit to the emergency room.
“Ms. Winfrey is recovering following a stomach virus and received an IV due to dehydration at the recommendation of her doctor,” a spokesperson for Winfrey told CNN Tuesday.
Winfrey told her best friend Gayle King in a video call on King’s Instagram page she “couldn’t keep enough water down to keep hydrated.”
This prompted her to seek treatment in the ER.
Winfrey told King she is not yet feeling 100%, but added, “I’m on my way.”
The media mogul said many people in her household were sick, too. She warned viewers to to wash their hands.
Winfrey was scheduled appear Tuesday on “CBS Mornings.” She was going to announce her latest Oprah’s Book Club selectio.
Winfrey’s book club pick is “Familiaris” by David Wroblewski.
