Selena Gomez reveals health diagnosis in response to body shamers: ‘This makes me sick’

“This makes me sick,” Selena Gomez said as she rebuked TikTok users who had opinions about her weight. Gomez, who has previously addressed body shamers on social media, replied to the video: “This makes me sick.” Gomez, 32, responded with the revelation that she has SIBO, according to multiple screenshots shared on social media. I’m just human.” The Mayo Clinic says SIBO occurs when the small intestine experiences an “abnormal increase in the overall bacterial population,” particularly bacteria types that aren’t commonly found in that part of the body. SIBO, also known as blind loop syndrome, commonly occurs “when a circumstance — such as surgery or disease — slows the passage of food and waste products in the digestive tract.” The former Disney Channel child star revealed in 2017 that she had undergone a kidney transplant due to lupus nephritis, where the autoimmune disease lupus causes a person’s kidneys to fail.
