Mandy Moore Shares Recent Endoscopy Procedure
Singer-actress Mandy Moore recently posted on Instagram a short documentary of her trip to the doctor to officially find out if she had celiac disease.
Earlier in July, Moore revealed to her fans she had been diagnosed with the said illness. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that is triggered when someone digests gluten. The immediate effect on the body may reportedly lead to intestinal damage. At the moment, there is still no cure for the disease. Patients who have it are encouraged to follow a strict gluten-free diet, which Moore reportedly does. During her engagement party with fiancé Taylor Goldsmith, she thanked her friends who supported her with her new diet.
"My heart bursts for each and every one of these ladies. If you are the company you keep, then I am in excellent standing. Thank you @rp1313 for being the greatest hostess/sister/bff and for giving us all a reason to hang, celebrate and enjoy some delightful gluten-free tea sandwiches like ladies do," Moore wrote in another Instagram post.
Though the singer did not reveal the results of her recent hospital trip, she nevertheless assured the fans that she is okay. According to her, she had the endoscopy to find out, officially, whether she has celiac disease.
"Just had an upper endoscopy to officially see whether or not I have celiac [disease] (only way to officially diagnose)...things are looking ok)," her post read.
Moore's fiancé has been her rock through the whole ordeal. She and Goldsmith became engaged after over two years of dating. It was her "This Is Us" co-stars, Chris Sullivan and Jon Huertas, who confirmed the news to the media. According to them, Moore announced the news via their Pearson family group chat.
Both actors said that Moore and Goldsmith are an incredible couple. Sullivan noted that Goldsmith visited Moore on the set and praised the other man's effervescent personality. Huertas, Moore's on-screen husband, said he was happy for her and her fiancé.
