Actress Angelica Panganiban has recovered from gastritis and is back to the grind after being hospitalized due to the disorder.

"So far, okay naman [na ako]," said she on “Showbiz News Ngayon,” Nov. 8.

Angelica said she has an idea on how she got the disorder.

"Siguro nanibago na naman ang katawan ko. Nasanay siya na halos two months akong walang tulog at walang pahinga. Siguro, nabigla siya sa tulog," she theorized.

Gastritis is an inflammation of the lining of the stomach. Its possible causes are infection, irritants, disorder of the immune system, and the regurgitation of bile into the stomach. Symptoms include abdominal pain or discomfort or sometimes vomiting or nausea. 

The actress reported that she has already completed most of her scenes with Gabby Concepcion for the movie, "I Love You Goodbye," and that she’ll shoot the ones with her real-life boyfriend, Derek Ramsay, next. Angelica and Derek have a slew of kissing scenes and love scenes in the film. 

Angelica recently received an Hermes bag from Derek as a birthday gift.

"Noong binigyan nga niya ako ng bag, after kong ma-shock, napaisip na ako kasi next month na ang birthday niya," said she.

Although she’s yet undecided what to get him, Angelica said Derek has been dropping hints.

"Nagpaparinig siya na mag-ipon na nga ako [for his gift kaya] magtrabaho [daw] ako nang mabuti. Tapos, tiisin ko raw 'yong konting puyat na ma-experience ko dahil siya [naman daw] ang hihingi ng gift sa akin."
