Faye Campbell, 15 years old, has eaten almost nothing but chips for the past 10 years. She suffered a rare condition called gastro-oesophageal reflux, which made her ill every time she tried anything other than chips.

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.

The condition, which means digestive acids are sent into the throat, is one of the main causes of indigestion and heartburn.
