Sam Faiers has opened up about 'naturally healing' her Crohn's disease.
The former TOWIE star, 33, took to Instagram on Monday night after going to a holistic wellness event where she saw speaker on natural healing Barbara O'Neill discussing the lifelong condition.
Following her diagnosis of Crohn's disease in 2014, Sam has previously admitted she began to focus more on her health and well-being in a natural way.
Crohn's disease is a lifelong condition where parts of the digestive system become inflamed. There's no cure for Crohn's disease, but treatment can help reduce or control your symptoms.
At the event she asked Barbara what advice she would give to someone with the disease as she recommended diet tips including eating certain herbs.

Barbara claimed that with the right 'natural approach' the diseased can be healed 'quite quickly', adding that she didn't believe people couldn't heal from the condition.
Sharing a video of Barbara, Sam penned in her caption: 'Last night, I had the privilege of attending an intimate dinner with Barbara O'Neil, surrounded by natural healers, authors, educators, and more. It was an incredible experience to be part of such a wonderful community.
'During Barbara's Q&A, she answered my question about Crohn's disease.
'This post isn't health advice or telling you what to do. I'm just sharing Barbara's natural approach to healing Crohn's from her experience in natural healing. Take from it what you will, and maybe even try her advice to see how it works for you.
'I naturally got my Crohn's under control almost 10 years ago, and I continue to learn new things every day. The body truly is amazing.
'Excited for tonight's Wellness Talk with Barbara and Philly! While the event is sold out, you can still join us via live stream here - check out my stories x @realbarbaraoneill @barbara.oneill.heals @phillyjlay.'
In 2018 she said: 'I was on medication for about a year [after diagnosis] and then I weened myself off of that and I just researched things that are a bit more natural, so vitamins and minerals and a change in diet.'
In 2022 Sam discussed how her health battles with adult acne and Crohn's disease inspired her to pursue her dream business of starting Revive Collagen.

She detailed: ‘When I was diagnosed, at a young age, I did think that there has got to be other ways to look after yourself.'
'I really enjoyed reading a researching about all the holistic ways, about what I put in my body. What we eat and drink but also what we watch and what we read that is all a part of it.’
‘At the time my social life was taking over, I was up and down the country and I was like “no, stop, you need to look after yourself.”

'She took no external investment and built the business from the ground up with her business partner.
'With the business being profitable from day one and set to launch across the US next month, she firmly has her eyes set on becoming the global market leader in ingestible collagen.
'Whilst she's had a couple of business failures along the way, she's definitely struck gold with Revive Collagen.'
