A 15-year-old girl has eaten almost nothing but chips for the past 10 years. Faye Campbell suffered from a rare condition which made her ill every time she tried anything else.

Her parents, Carolyn, 37, and Mark, 39, said they have been driven mad by their daughter’s diet. Mrs Campbell said: “Faye just drank milk until she was four or five. “We tried giving her everything but she rejected it. For some reason at that age she tried a chip and didn’t eat anything else.”

Mrs Campbell, of Stowmarket, Suffolk, said they had taken Faye to the doctor’s repeatedly without any luck. But she said two years ago the teenager was diagnosed with a condition called gastro-oesophageal reflux - and there was finally light at the end of the tunnel.

Following two years of treatment, including work with a child psychologist and medication, Faye has started trying burgers, noodles from a specific Chinese takeaway and potato waffles. Mrs Campbell said: “Now my hope is by the age of 20 Faye will be able to go to a restaurant and order anything off the menu.”
