Jarryd Hayne has revealed he spent more than a year battling a debilitating stomach problem he believes he picked up while training for Fiji's Rugby sevens team.
Hayne says he was diagnosed with H‑Pylori last year while at the Gold Coast, leaving him bloated and generally ill for the best part of 12 months.
The Parramatta superstar had to undergo surgery after the disease attacked his stomach's lining, as his immune system suffered and he struggled to digest food.
The 30‑year‑old has enjoyed the best stretch of football since his return to the NRL in 2016 over the past six games and believes it's due to the fact he's finally healthy again.
