In addition to that, she caught a bacteria from eating sushi. “Don’t eat sushi. I was a fan of sushi, that’s why I’ve always been thin. Raw fish has a bacteria called Helicobacter,” she says. Helicobacter pylori is a type of bacteria that causes infection in the stomach and if it’s not treated, it can lead to stomach cancer.
“I started getting a lot of stomach pain, pain that was so strong that I would start sweating, I would get really cold. I went to the doctor. On the fifth day, I had an endoscopy. They took small parts of my stomach to see if I had cancer, Helicobacter or something else. It was Helicobacter, but it’s a strong bacteria, so I had to take five antibiotics.”
Fortunately, Yuri is doing much better health-wise and her album was finally released today.
