Corey Feldman Says He Was Misdiagnosed After Emergency Hospitalization

Corey Feldman is clearing the air about his recent health scare, which saw the actor hospitalized after suffering a medical emergency on a flight from Chicago to Los Angeles.

Two days after the Goonies actor, 54, was whisked away by paramedics at LAX on Monday, June 15, Feldman returned to Instagram to clarify the cause of his hospitalization.

While early reports indicated that doctors thought Feldman's in-flight symptoms could be caused by pancreatitis or gallstones, the Dancing With the Stars alum confirmed in his video that he was actually suffering from a brutal case of food poisoning.

"I WANTED 2 TOUCH BASE AFTER THAT BIG OL HEALTH SCARE & LET U ALL KNOW IM ALIVE & WELL!" Feldman wrote in the caption of his Wednesday, June 17, video, claiming that a doctor had initially misdiagnosed him before someone on his medical team "SENT THAT MISDIAGNOSIS 2 THE MEDIA IN REAL TIME" based on the result of a preliminary blood test result.

"HOWEVER, IT WAS ONLY FOOD POISONING THANK GOD! ILL B OK," he assured.

Feldman's publicist confirmed to USA Today on Tuesday, June 16, that Feldman had been diagnosed with food poisoning and that he "is doing much better and is now out of the hospital." The representative added at the time, "Corey wants to thank everyone for all of the love and well wishes. He has definitely seen a lot of the messages and really appreciates everything."

In Wednesday's video, Feldman teased that he was already back in the booth working on a new single with a "brand new" sound. "I don't even know what it's called yet, it's that brand new," he said in the video, which was taken in what appeared to be a recording studio. "But I like it, we like it, we're all digging it, it's pretty freaking cool."

The former child star also revealed he has another single coming out on Monday, June 22. "ITS CALLED #WHATAMIHERE4? POIGNANT TIMING EH?" he quipped in the caption.
