Megan McKenna hits out at ‘Skinny Shamers’ as she details her battle with Celiac Disease

Megan McKenna hit out at “Skinny Shamers” on Monday after a fan asked if she’d “lost more weight.”

The 30-year-old TOWIE star is open about her battle with celiac disease, a condition where your immune system attacks your own tissues when you eat gluten.

Since the condition prevents the body from absorbing nutrients, one of the symptoms can be weight loss.

Megan’s weight came under scrutiny during an Instagram Q&A, prompting her to share a snap of her dinner of cheesy nachos, writing, “No, I still eat whatever I fancy…I’ve had over the years.” a lot of thin shame.

“Is skinny shaming the same as fat shaming? I don’t think it is, but it should be.”

She added, “I eat a lot, some days more than others, but I’ve suffered a lot with my tummy over the years … Celiac disease and I have a wheat allergy, also a touch of IBS.”

Megan also gave fans a peek inside her fridge, which was stocked with plenty of veggies, eggs, cheese and spices.

The country music star previously told her fans that her weight “will always be an issue” because there’s no cure for celiac disease.

She also battles Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), a common condition that affects the digestive system.

Megan addressed trolls in 2017, who described her as “anorexic” on her Instagram platform: “People need to realize I’m always going to have problems with this and not troll me.”

She also claimed that she “grew up really sick,” but despite being trolled, she was concerned for the emotional safety of her followers, who may face backlash for standing up for her.

Last year, the Ex On The Beach star launched a new gluten-free cookbook to help others battle celiac disease.

Symptoms can include diarrhea, abdominal pain and bloating, and Megan bravely admits in her book, “The bathroom was my best friend growing up.

“I’ve had my fair share of trolling, being called skeletal and anorexic. People need to get rid of the weight comments and give those of us who are quietly suffering from digestive issues a break.

In the book entitled Can You Make That Gluten-Free? Megan speaks with incredible honesty about her difficult childhood and how she spent many years undergoing many different tests before finally being diagnosed.

Megan’s post comes after she returned from a romantic getaway to Paris with new boyfriend Oliver Burke after going public with the footballer last month.
