Is Angelina fighting a deadly disease?
According to Star she is!
For months, Angelina Jolie, has looked like she’s suffering form a serious eating disorder. Her weight has plunged drastically, to a frightening 95 pounds, she has virtually no appetite, and insiders say she’s been dizzy, weak and shaky and even collapsed at one point.
But now a source tells Star that friends and family of Angie fear that all these symptoms may be pointing to something far more serious than an eating disorder – they’re afraid Angie could be fighting a potentially deadly liver disease!
“Angelina has had a lot of doctor’s appointments – some she’s gone to, some she’s skipped,” a source notes. Meanwhile, adds the insider, Brad has confided to family members that Angie has an illness that isn’t going away something she “will have to live with…and control with medication.”
Brad says the source, finally “convinced Angelina to go see a doctor because he was afraid something was very wrong with her. She doesn’t have much of an appetite and is eating very little. Tests were run and Brad’s family were led to believe that her illness might be something like hepatitis, but since then he’s clammed up, I think he knows what’s wrong, but he’s keeping it from people.”
Donald Marks M.C. an infectious disease and hepatitis expert at Cooper Green Hospital in Birmingham, Alabama, who has not treated Angie, says that her symptoms appear consistent with hepatitis, a viral infection that can be lethal.
“People with hepatitis, which is an inflammation of the liver, suffer nausea, vomiting, anorexia, and diarrhea,” he says, adding that Angelina’s sallow complexion and dramatic weight loss could be telltale signals of the disease.
