Claire Foy's Hidden Health Battle: Years of Parasites and Dietary Reinvention
Actress Claire Foy has revealed she unknowingly lived with parasites for years before doctors finally identified them. The condition left her struggling with unexplained weight loss and persistent hunger. She now follows a strict diet to manage her health after the discovery.
Foy suspects she contracted the parasites during a trip to Morocco. For at least five years, she experienced continuous weight loss without understanding why. Despite her symptoms, the issue went undiagnosed until doctors eventually detected the parasites in her system.
Instead of using antibiotics, Foy opted to change her diet to eliminate the problem. She now avoids gluten and sugar due to an existing autoimmune condition. The actress also permanently gave up caffeine, having previously consumed up to 15 cups of tea daily.
While Foy maintains a disciplined diet at home, she allows herself occasional exceptions when dining out. She has not shared the exact timeline of her dietary adjustments or the full extent of the health effects caused by the parasites.
The discovery of the parasites led Foy to make lasting changes to her eating habits. She no longer drinks caffeine and carefully monitors her intake of gluten and sugar. Her experience highlights the importance of medical checks when facing unexplained health issues.
