A resident of the UK for 10 years ate only chips and bread due to a psychological disorder of selective eating. This was announced by the ComicSands portal.
It is noted that her symptoms began to appear at the age of three. The girl refused to eat, most of all she did not like chicken. Because of this selectivity in food, as she grew up, the girl experienced certain problems with socialization, writes NSN. She could not eat with the rest of the students in the cafeteria and began to move away from them. For a long time, the doctors were unable to diagnose her correctly, instead suggesting “just start eating”.
As a result, the disorder reached such limits that she could only eat chips and bread. Any other products caused her panic and gag reflexes, the 360 TV channel notes.
Finally, experts were able to establish that the British woman suffers from a selective eating disorder. Patients with this diagnosis experience an aversion to food depending on its smell, color or texture, and even panic attacks occur. The hypnologist helped to solve the problem – the treatment was completed in a two-hour session, after which the girl was able to eat a chicken sandwich and yogurt.
“I ate pineapple and cried in the middle of the street,” said the British woman.
The girl celebrated her deliverance from the phobia with her family. Now the 19-year-old girl eats whatever she wants. Her favorite dish is baked chicken, which she couldn’t even look at before.
In November 2019, it was reported that a resident of the English city of Harrogate in North Yorkshire, who celebrated her 108th birthday, called champagne the secret of her longevity.
