Megan McKenna has opened up about her health struggles after trolls attacked her appearance.
The former TOWIE star has revealed her battle with Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) and the complications it can bring.
One of the side effects of the condition is severe bloating and weightloss.
In an interview with MailOnline, Megan spoke about her experience with the online haters and their 'vile' comments about her body.
The 25-year-old explained: "I didn’t know what it was and people were really criticising me, saying you look anorexic, you look skeletal, it’s disgusting’.
"It annoys me that people think they have the right to say it to me or have the right to call someone fat. The trolls online are vile".
Megan detailed that her condition was only recently diagnosed last year, and she has been "dealing with it in private."
The TV personality went onto explain the reality of living with IBS.
"When I get really bloated my belly can swell up to the point where I literally look two months pregnant."
"I can go from that extreme, to having a really bad belly and losing weight – because if you can’t keep [food] down, how are you going to keep it on?", she added.
Irritable Bowel Syndrome is a common condition and it affects the digestive system.
It can be a lifelong problem which can cause bloating and stomach cramps.
Diet changes and medicines can often offer some relief to symptoms.
If you're concern that you may have IBS, talk to your doctor.
