Carla Laban, a 20-year-old British girl, is now enjoying the taste of fresh fruit and other delicious foods, after spending 18 years of her life eating chicken nuggets and chips. Sounds strange, but it is true. She was suffering from a food phobia, which left her unable to swallow any food but chicken nuggets and chips. Now with the help of a hypnotherapist, she is learning to eat other foods!
Carla, who lives with her mum, dad Mark and 18-year-old brother Connor in Wyken, Coventry, was only 2 years old, when her family discovered that chicken nuggets was the only meal that did not make her feel badly sick. She couldn't even stand the smell of other food. From then on, she skipped breakfast each day then had nuggets for lunch and dinner, eating around 30 a day. That unbalanced diet affected her health and she used to get ill quite a lot. Exercise and vitamins even failed to improve her health.
Then, Carla visited Russell Hemmings at the Bridge Clinic and discovered that she had a phobia which stemmed back to her childhood when she had a dairy intolerance. Now with the help of a hypnotherapist she can eat most things including chunky chips and roast chicken.
"I can remember having chicken nuggets and chips for the first and thinking, 'I can eat this without being sick,'" the Mirror quoted her, as saying.
