Christina Haack Waiting and praying.
The Flip or Flop star revealed that she recently underwent an endoscopy after suffering renewed stomach pain, something she’s been struggling with “on and off since 2016.”
“It was thought to be stress and doctors tried putting me on all the pills/meds but luckily it wasn’t the solution,” she said in an Oct. 21 Instagram post. “I wanted to fix it so I focused on my nutrition. It seemed to improve but then last year it was triggered once again, and all of a sudden, the stomach pain was back.”
She added, “With autoimmune anxiety can cause major flare-ups and my greatest concern is my digestion/gut well-being.” I feel horrible burning sensations if I don’t eat well.
She sought to solve the problem by requesting that a doctor perform a gastrointestinal test for SIBO (also known small intestinal bacterial growth) in addition to an endoscopy. She wrote, “Now just pray everything goes back okay,” and that some rounds of antibiotics would kill any bacteria that was causing my GI tract problems.
