Christina Haack says she is 'praying everything is ok' after undergoing a full endoscopy as she reveals battle with extreme stomach pain

Christina Haack revealed she's been suffering from extreme stomach pain on and off dating back to 2016.

The 38-year-old reality TV star shared an Instagram post with a lengthy caption on Thursday.

Speaking to her 1.7 million followers on the app the newly-engaged star said, 'As I sit here in Tennessee I feel super grateful for where life has taken me. I love that we have a home where we get total peace in the woods where it’s just us doing our thing.' 

The blonde mother-of-three continued, 'In the past I’ve let stress and being overwhelmed get the best of me and I’ve ignored what was going on with myself internally.'

Then she went into her health issues: 'I’ve suffered on and off since 2016 with extreme stomach pain. It has been written off as stress and doctors have tried to put me on all the pills / meds but luckily I realized masking it wasn’t the answer.'

Underneath a smiling selfie taken in a vehicle she went on, 'I wanted to fix the problem so I really focused on my nutrition and it seemed to get better but then last year it was triggered again and all of a sudden the stomach pain was back…

'With autoimmune, anxiety can cause major flare ups and my biggest thing I’ve notice being affected is my digestion / gut health.' 

The HGTV personality explained her stomach sensitivity. 'Basically if I don’t eat SUPER clean I get a horrible burning sensation.' 

But now, the real estate investor said she's 'found the right doctor who didn’t just tell me to take Acid Controllers.'

She reported that her new physician 'did a full endoscopy and GI testing for SIBO' and that she's praying the results come back 'ok.' 

The Anaheim, California native mentioned, 'I’ve talked to a lot of people about this and just want to advocate how important it is to trust your own health instincts and not ignore things going on in your body.'

Lastly she stated that she's now redirecting her attention: 'Focusing on getting back to taking care of myself, mind, body and spirit. And my favorite things in life like quality time with the kids and one-on-one time with my man.' 

Haack became engaged to Josh Hall last month while vacationing in Mexico.

This will be her third marriage after divorcing Ant Anstead and Tarek El Moussa. 

The Flip or Flop host has three children: Hudson London Anstead, Taylor El Moussa, and Brayden El Moussa.
