Claire Foy Battled 'Gross' Parasite Infection for Five Years
Claire Foy managed a five-year parasitic infection by eliminating caffeine, gluten, and sugar to reduce inflammation linked to an autoimmune condition, she said on a podcast.
- Speaking on the Table Manners podcast with Jessie and Lennie Ware, Claire Foy, award-winning actress best known for The Crown, revealed she had parasites for around five years.
- Foy said she believes she contracted the infection in Morocco a few years ago; the NHS website states worm infections spread through contaminated objects, food, or undercooked meat and freshwater fish and defines a parasite as an organism living off another.
- Treating the infection, Foy avoided strong antibiotics and tried alternative treatments, reporting unexplained weight loss and a doctor describing her condition as 'gross, absolutely rank.'
- Her diet now excludes caffeine, gluten and sugar to reduce inflammation, with Foy saying she no longer drinks caffeine and avoids gluten and sugar to manage an autoimmune condition.
- Foy's celebrity could spotlight parasitic infections, as her roles in The Crown draw attention while the NHS website advises treatment with prescribed medicine and hygiene to prevent infections.
