“I tried to have champagne, and it would be like pouring acid, you know, on an open wound.

“My indigestion issues got gigantic and constant. And then I started thinking, I’m getting skinny. I dropped about 20 pounds in the blink of an eye. And then when you see it in the mirror, when all of a sudden, you pull your eyes down and the bottom of your eyes go yellow and jaundice sets in — then you know something’s wrong.

“I started doing a little research and started realizing this is not pretty. This is not a good thing.

The show aires tonight January 7 at 10/9 on ABC.
