A fussy schoolboy who would only eat chicken nuggets and other beige food has been cured in time to enjoy a Christmas dinner thanks to hypnosis. Noah Young, who refused to eat fruit and vegetables, suffers from Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID) and once threw up just from eating a carrot.
The football-mad youngster has suffered from ARFID since he was 18 months old and has refused to eat food not in his select diet since. Eating something new or different can make the boy gag or even be sick in serious cases.
Noah's breakfast consisted of toast with jam, pancakes or dry Cheerios without milk. Lunch would be a ham sandwich or jam sandwich or plain pasta and for tea, Noah would tuck into chips and chicken nuggets, pizza, or a plain chicken wrap.
