UK Woman Can Eat Only Digestive Biscuits Due To A Painful And Rare Stomach Condition

A woman who only eats digestive biscuits is seeking to earn ?80,000, so she can once again have a complete dinner. Talia Sinnott has been diagnosed with gastroparesis, a rare condition where the stomach struggles to process food.

When the problem flares up, she may experience ten daily episodes of vomiting and "excruciating pain" whenever she tries to eat.

For a gastric pacemaker that would give impulses to her stomach muscles so she could digest food, her family is trying to raise ?80,000. Wolverhampton woman Talia said:

"It is a challenging condition to live with. If I eat or drink pretty much anything at the moment, I am often left in a lot of pain, severe nausea, or just throwing up."

It implies that she is nearly entirely dependent on a feeding tube to get the necessary nourishment.

For many years, Talia's gastroparesis, a chronic illness where the stomach cannot empty appropriately, went undiagnosed.

As per a report in Mirror. UK, Talia's symptoms started in 2018, but because her sickness was so uncommon, doctors did not seem to know what was wrong.

"I would eat a meal, and it would almost feel like it was sat in my chest for ages after I had eaten; I almost felt I needed to be sick to relieve the pain," she said.

She can only have a couple of biscuits "here and there."

"But that¡¯s pretty much it. That¡¯s why I rely on my tube to give me all the nourishment I need," she added.

Her dad, Peter Sinnott, said, "At the moment, a digestive biscuit is her main diet. She can barely drink; she takes little sips of water throughout the day."As a family, we are very concerned, and it¡¯s excruciating to see her in the state she is in."

The 68-year-old, who had also lost a child, added: "That makes what Talia is going through far more painful for us as parents. We have lost one and don¡¯t want to lose another. It¡¯s difficult."
