Alexandra has lost an incredible two stone to help her combat anxiety and focus on her mental health, but the reality star admitted that her body had begun rejecting certain foods.

“So I’ve suffered with bloating for many years on and off. Initially, when I first got diagnosed with IBS I was given Buscopan & told to see how I get on,” she told fans.

“I refused to take them. I wasn’t satisfied with the response I got and decided to get to the root of the problem. I did this through looking at what I was consuming.”

“WE ARE WHAT WE EAT,” she added, claiming that she was able to get “rid of my IBS at one stage through eating super nutritious foods etc”.
