For most of her life, Faye Campbell has eaten nothing but chips. One bowl a day washed down with glasses of milk.
For years it was just assumed that she was an extremely faddy eater, but Barts Hospital in London discovered that Faye was suffering from gastrooesophageal reflux. Reflux problems are common, affecting 18 per cent of otherwise healthy babies. 90 per cent of those affected will grow out of it naturally within the first year.
For sufferers such as Faye the condition is more distressing - the stomach sends strong acids back up the gullet and into the mouth. Faye had learned as a baby that food caused pain, and decided to do without. The only food she found acceptable was chips, although no one is sure why.
