Elisabeth Hasselbeck: Celiac Disease
Former TV host Elisabeth Hasselbeck has struggled with celiac disease for over a decade. Celiac disease damages small intestine linings, and prevents the body from absorbing nutrients. The damage is caused by the body’s over-reaction to gluten, found in barley, wheat, and rye. Over 2 million people in USA have this disease, as per experts. Elisabeth tolerated the painful cramps, indigestion, and diarrhoea for years, despite whatever she ate. Diagnosed with celiac disease, her symptoms disappeared upon following a severe, restrictive, gluten-free diet, the only treatment for people with this disease.

His primary symptom is pain from the shins to his feet, 24 hours every day, for the last 10 years. About 400,000 Americans have multiple sclerosis, as per experts. Multiple sclerosis is an autoimmune disorder, with the immune system mistakenly attacking healthy tissue, and no known triggers about the condition. Williams manages the disease with diet control, medication and exercise.
Bret Michaels: Heart Disease
In 2010, Bret, a reality TV star and former lead singer of “Poison”, had a “mini stroke” due to a hole detected in his heart. The transient ischemic attack is caused by a blood clot, as per experts. To repair the hole in Michaels’ heart, a catheter was inserted permanently into a vein in Bret’s groin and guided into his heart to stop the abnormal flow if blood between the two heart chambers. Without starting treatment, Bret could risk developing more clots and suffering another stroke. Annually, around 795,000 Americans suffer from mini strokes, according to experts. In a mini stroke, blockage of blood flow to the brain is temporary, without any permanent brain damage.
