Former EastEnders actress Melissa Suffield recently shared an update on her health journey. The star, best known for her role as Lucy Beale on the popular BBC One soap, has been facing a mystery illness for the past three months.
After undergoing an endoscopy, Melissa revealed that the results were unremarkable but her weight loss has been quite drastic. She has been feeling nauseous for months and despite multiple doctor's visits, the cause of her illness remained unknown.
In a recent Instagram story, Melissa shared that she has been diagnosed with small intestinal bacterial overgrowth, which means she has an excessive amount of bacteria in her small intestine. She also mentioned that she is likely facing an issue with B12 absorption, but the reason behind it is still unclear. She emphasized the importance of addressing this issue now and hopes that it will be the start of her healing journey.
Next month, Melissa has an appointment with a B12 specialist in Cambridge where she will learn how to self-administer B12 injections. She expressed her excitement for the possibility of genuine healing and getting back to her true self. She also mentioned that she is tired of spending all her time researching and worrying, and just wants to focus on spending quality time with her loved ones.
Melissa welcomed her son River in March 2020 and often shares updates about him on her blog 'The Confident Mama.' Despite facing health challenges, she remains positive and grateful for the small joys in life. Melissa acknowledged that moments like spending time with her son and loved ones, or simply doing nothing with company, are often taken for granted but she cherishes them deeply.
In the midst of her health struggles, Melissa continues to spread positivity and inspire others. She hopes that by sharing her journey, she can help others going through similar challenges. And although her medical expenses are quite high, she remains hopeful and determined to overcome this obstacle.
It is no surprise that Melissa is able to find the silver lining in this difficult situation, as she is known for spreading joy and positivity. Her strength and resilience are truly inspiring, and we wish her all the best on her healing journey.
