Claire Foy's 'Gross' Discovery Led to Coffee Ban

British actress Claire Foy has shared a surprising and unpleasant reason for her decision to stop drinking coffee. The star, known for her role as Queen Elizabeth II in The Crown, discovered she had parasites, a condition she believes she contracted during a trip to Morocco.

Foy revealed that she lived with the parasites for at least five years, experiencing unexplained weight loss. The actress described the discovery as 'disgusting' and noted that she had to adhere to a specific diet, including giving up caffeine, as part of her treatment to avoid strong antibiotics.

Beyond caffeine, Foy also avoids gluten and sugar in her diet, except when dining out. This dietary restriction stems from an autoimmune condition, where avoiding these items helps manage inflammation. She previously shared that childhood medical issues, including juvenile arthritis and a benign tumor behind her eye, significantly impacted her outlook on life and health.
