The Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills fans have known Sutton Stracke for a few seasons now, although some may be surprised to learn about her serious health issues. Sutton first appeared on RHOBH Season 10 as a friend, and was promoted to a main cast member for Season 11. While Sutton is known for her passion for the fashion industry, she is also a proud mom to her three kids.
Despite her success and busy lifestyle, Sutton has struggled with several health issues over the years. Sutton recently had a medical scare at the RHOBH Season 13 reunion, which reminded fans of her troubled medical history.
What Is Sutton Stracke’s Esophagus Disorder?
RHOBH fans know that if there’s one thing Sutton loves to talk about, it’s her esophagus. It’s for a good reason, however, as the RHOBH star suffers from a rare esophagus disorder.
Sutton’s esophagus disorder first came to light when her co-star Kyle Richards accused her of having an eating disorder. Kyle noted that she had seen Sutton move food around her plate and not eat it, and added that Sutton had told her she had a disorder where she could not eat her food. Sutton was evidently hurt by this, as Kyle was completely wrong.
Instead, Sutton explained that she had an esophagus disorder, which was responsible for those symptoms. Sutton’s esophagus disorder makes it difficult for her to eat and swallow her food, which is a pretty serious symptom. Furthermore, Sutton explained that she even had difficulty swallowing her own saliva, which is certainly scary.
Sutton Also Has Neuropathy
Another health issue Sutton has opened up about onscreen is her neuropathy. Neuropathy can have many different causes, and present a number of different symptoms as well. Typically, neuropathy causes numbness or tingling in the extremities of the body, which can be uncomfortable. Many people equate neuropathy with feeling like your body parts are asleep all the time, which makes this another struggle for Sutton.
What Happened To Sutton At The RHOBH Season 13 Reunion?
While the RHOBH Season 13 three part reunion has not yet finished airing, we know from the trailer that Sutton will face a medical scare. Several of Sutton’s fellow cast members, including Kyle, have also hinted at Sutton’s health scare.
At one point in the trailer, Sutton is seen beginning to gasp for air. At first, it is hard to tell if Sutton was being dramatic, but it does not take long for the cast to realize something is wrong. Sutton then begins to shake uncontrollably, which prompts the cast to call for a medic.
After the medics begin to examine Sutton, the camera pans to her hands which are clearly swollen. Sutton looks incredibly anxious, and Andy Cohen even began to fan her with his cards. It is not yet clear what caused this to happen to Sutton. While it does not seem probable that her esophagus disorder or neuropathy are responsible, they could in fact be behind the health scare.
Who Else Had A Health Scare On RHOBH Season 13?
Sutton was not the only cast member who experienced a scary medical emergency during RHOBH Season 13. Crystal Kung Minkoff also had an intense health scare, during the group’s trip to Spain. This season has really been a lot!
During the trip to Spain, Crystal began to feel ill during a bus ride. At first glance, anyone would blame motion sickness, but it quickly became evident that something more serious was going on. Crystal had to get out on the side of the road to throw up, and came back looking white as a ghost. Eventually, Crystal had to go to the hospital, where her blood pressure was dangerously high. Crystal suspected she was having a stroke, but thankfully she did not and was ok.
Sutton and Crystal’s health scares show just how important it is to always be mindful of what is going on with your body. On shows like the Real Housewives, fans sometimes forget how stressful things can be for the cast members filming. Thankfully, Sutton and Crystal both seem to be doing well today, which is a relief after what they went through on RHOBH Season 13.
