Woman survives on diet of biscuits due to rare chronic illness

A woman suffering from a rare stomach condition has told how she survives eating a diet of only biscuits. Talia Sinnott eats up to ten digestives and plain crackers a day because it’s the only food she can keep down.

The 25-year-old suffers from gastroparesis, a chronic illness which means her stomach struggles to process food. She was diagnosed with the rare condition four years ago and Talia’s illness was so bad she was sick up to 30 times a day.

Talia’s weight also plummeted by three stone until she weighed just five stone. For the last six months she has relied on a feeding tube to provide her with nutrients she needs and the only solid food she can eat are McVitie's digestives.
