Denise Richards Thanks Fans For Noticing Health Issue

Denise Richards is making some changes to her diet after a few of her fans noticed she may have a health issue during the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills reunion episodes. And those changes have already helped her tremendously!

The Bold and the Beautiful star took to Instagram on Sunday to reveal she’s completely cut gluten out of her diet, as it was apparently affecting her thyroid. Not only that, fans could tell her thyroid was enlarged while watching the three reunion episodes and alerted her in case something was wrong.

“It’s amazing to me in a short time eliminating gluten from my diet how much my thyroid has changed. A few of you pointed out after the #RHOBH reunion that my thyroid was enlarged. You were right, it was something I ignored until pointed out,” she captioned her post.

“I had no idea how much our diet really can affect our body and for me how toxic gluten really is … I thank all of you who sent me messages. #selfcare.” To prove her point, the star shared before and after photos.

Richards also shared a post over the weekend that revealed she’s also cut dairy, sugar, alcohol, and other things from her diet — but that doesn’t mean she can’t splurge once in a while.

“Even though I’m on a no dairy, gluten, booze, sugar, beef, diet (need to lose a few lbs) he bought me a #haagendazs ice cream bar at the gas station. #cheatday,” she captioned a photo of her husband, Aaron Phypers, bringing her a treat.
