Tamra Judge is dealing with an "intestinal obstruction" — which, according to Mayo Clinic, is "caused by a number of issues including abdominal adhesions, hernias and tumors."
Tamra apologized to her fans for missing her "Two Ts in a Pod" podcast with "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" alum Teddi Mellencamp over her health issues.
"I'm so sad @teddimellencamp I miss you so much," Tamra wrote on her Instagram Story.

Tamra Judge's husband, Eddie Judge, waited with her at the hospital as she received treatment for an "intestinal obstruction." The reality star took to her Instagram Story to share a video of her hubby pulling a funny face while massaging her socked feet.

Some fans questioned whether or not Tamra Judge's health issues were caused by her suspected use of the controversial drug Ozempic. The reality TV star quickly shot down that rumor.
"These comments are disgusting! I've suffered from intestinal problems for years. I've had multiple surgeries in the past 12 years," she wrote on her Instagram Story. "Remember when you all made fun of me for not having a belly button. That was due to emergency life saving surgery. Part of my intestines were being strangled."

Stomach problems run in Tamra Judge's family — her grandmother died of "intestinal problems," she noted. Tamra also denied that she's ever used Ozempic, a diabetes drug that's become a popular weight-loss tool.
"I've never been on Ozempic and personally wouldn't use it for weight loss!" she insisted.
