What happened to Frank on American Pickers? 

According to a report by The Sun, American Pickers cast member Frank Fritz raised concerns among his viewers after they realized he had lost a significant amount of weight. He addressed the concern on Facebook but also revealed that he was focusing on dieting and exercising as well. The reality show host stated that he was battling Crohn's disease and had taken a break during seasons 8 and 9 of the series because of the same. Crohn's disease is a type of inflammatory bowel disease. It causes inflammation of the digestive tract, which can lead to abdominal pain, severe diarrhoea, fatigue, weight loss, and malnutrition.

This condition can pose a challenge for anyone who has to travel, which is precisely what Frank Fritz does on the show. He has revealed that the crew of the show knows well about it and adjusts accordingly. During the coronavirus lockdown restrictions, it was believed that Frank was quarantining in LeClaire, Iowa. Frank’s partner in the series, Mike Wolfe, added that Frank was getting back surgery, though it is unclear for what. He has also said that he has most of his food at night time. American Pickers' Frank Fritz has been a part of the show for over a decade, ever since it began in 2010. Frank and Mike both travel to different parts of the United States of America to get antiques at the request of their clients, for resale and for personal collections as well. The show has aired 21 complete seasons to date.
