The Valley star Janet Caperna lost 20 pounds in nearly two weeks following a recent bout with acute gastritis. "It's usually set off by something like food poisoning and it was just wreaking havoc on my body," Caperna, 36, told the Daily Mail on Friday, January 16, of her recent health scare. "It was like my insides were wrung out and it felt like I had hot glass moving through me." Caperna was hospitalized twice after going out on New Year's Eve. When she couldn't stop vomiting, the Bravolebrity initially thought her symptoms were the result of either food poisoning or a hangover.
