Tammin Sursok Opens Up About Year-Long Health Struggle

Tammin Sursok has revealed a harrowing health ordeal that she has been struggling with for a year.

The star, 42, took to Instagram on Friday to give fans an update on her health.

'Guys, I really need to heal my gut,' she began the clip, before giving a sigh.

Continuing, Tammin revealed that she had been plagued with heartburn and nausea symptoms for 12 months, which she said were triggered by certain foods. 

'So about a year ago, I was having this chronic clearing my throat issue and then I, after certain foods, I would get this burning sensation like heartburn and then nausea and all these things,' she said.

'I went to the doctor and they want to do an endoscopy, but they think it's called gastritis, which is an inflammation of the stomach lining.'

Tammin added that she was surprised by the doctor's hypothesis, given how well she looks after her health.  

'[It's] so bananas because I really take care of myself – don't drink alcohol and all these things. And I know that anyone can get gastritis so it's not just based on that,' she said. 

'But I really think that I have to start healing my insides. And I think a lot of what we put in our bodies has all this extra stuff that we don't know what's going on.'

Tammin rounded out her post urging followers suffering from gastritis to offer tips on how to 'heal the situation'.

It comes after Tammin revealed a horrific allergic reaction she had to ant bites, sharing a shocking video of her swollen ankle to Instagram in May.

She told her followers she accidentally stepped on a fire ant nest and had been bitten seven times.

Suffering a severe reaction, the Home and Away star broke out in painful-looking blisters as her ankle swelled up to almost three times its size.

 'I really think that I have to start healing my insides. And I think a lot of what we put in our bodies has all this extra stuff that we don't know what's going on,' she added
