Troubled football legend Paul Gascoigne is reportedly suffering from stomach pains because of alcohol abuse and cannot eat anything acidic because it gives him severe gut pain.
According to the Daily Star, staff at the favourite watering hole of the former England star have said that they had to start watering down their smoothies which he loves to order as the drinks contain acidic fruits such as orange, apple and lemon.
Revealing that Gascoigne would come in to the bar and drink their healthy smoothies in public, when presumably he was knocking back the alcohol in private, a barman said that the they had to water down their orange and apple juice as his stomach had rotted after all the boozing
According to the report, the England football legend, who went into rehab in the USA earlier this year to try to end his addiction for good, has been a major cause of concern for his family and friends.
Gascoigne has been charged with two counts of assault on his ex-wife and a security guard, adding that he also has been charged with being drunk and disorderly.
The former Newcastle United and Tottenham midfielder was arrested for assaulting his ex-wife Sheryl and a security guard at the railway station and was later released on police bail.
