Jameela Jamil has urgently called for fans to send her funny videos as she grapples with a 'horrendous' health issue.
The 38-year-old former presenter, now an actress, is no stranger to sudden and severe health scares, and she's disclosed that she's currently bedridden, battling a painful ailment. She's opened up about her recent distressing medical ordeal, which involved emergency surgery, a bone graft, the threat of infection, and an unforeseen complication.
Jameela, known for her candidness, took to social media to share her struggle with gastritis. This agonising condition can be triggered by a bacterial infection in the stomach or digestive tract, or by the use of anti-inflammatory pain medication.
Symptoms of gastritis, which inflames the stomach lining, include abdominal pain, nausea, gas, feelings of fullness or bloating, and it can affect one's appetite. Jameela revealed that her bout with the illness came after undergoing surgery.
In a distressed Instagram post on Friday, she exclaimed: "Guess who had a lil emergency operation and a bone graft and took antibiotics and pain killers and woke up with gastritis?!", reports the Mirror.
She continued: "Please send me funny animal videos at this horrendous time. Fork everything."
It remains to be seen if her request for humorous pet content has been met by her followers.
However, her latest tirade may not win her any sympathy as some supporters have levelled accusations at Jameela of having Munchausen syndrome - a claim she has strongly refuted. The allegations surfaced in 2020 when a fan suggested the celebrity might be afflicted with the psychological condition, which involves feigning illness for attention.
