Tammin Sursok has revealed a harrowing health ordeal that she has been struggling with for a year.
The Home and Away star, 42, took to Instagram on Friday to give fans an update on her health.
'Guys, I really need to heal my gut,' she began the clip, before giving a sigh.
Continuing, Tammin revealed that she had been plagued with heartburn and nausea symptoms for 12 months, which she said were triggered by certain foods.
'So about a year ago, I was having this chronic clearing my throat issue and then I, after certain foods, I would get this burning sensation like heartburn and then nausea and all these things,' she said.
'I went to the doctor and they want to do an endoscopy, but they think it's called gastritis, which is an inflammation of the stomach lining.'
Tammin added that she was surprised by the doctor's hypothesis, given how well she looks after her health.
'[It's] so bananas because I really take care of myself – don't drink alcohol and all these things. And I know that anyone can get gastritis so it's not just based on that,' she said.
'But I really think that I have to start healing my insides. And I think a lot of what we put in our bodies has all this extra stuff that we don't know what's going on.'
Tammin rounded out her post urging followers suffering from gastritis to offer tips on how to 'heal the situation'.
It comes after Tammin revealed a horrific allergic reaction she had to ant bites, sharing a shocking video of her swollen ankle to Instagram in May.
She told her followers she accidentally stepped on a fire ant nest and had been bitten seven times.
Suffering a severe reaction, the Home and Away star broke out in painful-looking blisters as her ankle swelled up to almost three times its size.
In another episode of Tammin is allergic to bugs and insects, the ant bite situation has been gnarly... I stepped on an ant nest. Got bitten by seven,' she said.
'Ran into my house and yelled at everyone, "Don't be worried. I'm taking off all my clothes."'
Tammin then went on to post a poll to her Stories, asking her followers if they wanted to see a photo of the allergic reaction she had to the ant bites.
It would appear that the majority of her fans said yes, as she posted the shocking image just moments later.
'Fire ants are no joke! Swelling has gone down thank goodness! They are all the way around [her ankle],' Tammin captioned the image.
The photo showed her ankle looking very red and swollen, with several large blisters marring the skin.
It came just a few months after Tammin revealed another shock health update, when she visited her doctor for a routine check-up following a spider bite.
The actress was bitten in March and visited her GP the following day to undergo a standard examination.
But the former Home and Away star's routine trip to the local medical centre soon turned harrowing when her doctor found something 'unexpected', which she did not disclose.
'Found out some news at the doctor that was unexpected. Thinking positively but please keep me in your good thoughts,' she said alongside a selfie.
Tammin currently lives in Nashville with her husband Sean McEwen, who she married in an Italian ceremony in 2011.
The couple shares two daughters – Phoenix, 12, and Lennon, seven.
