Boy who ate only tomatoes for 12 years is cured by hypnosis

5 Live In Short

Available for over a year

After years of eating only tomatoes - along with some tomato-based foods like baked beans, soup and an awful lot of ketchup - a boy from Gloucestershire has eaten his first roast dinner with the help of hypnosis. Liam Pierce's parent's struggled to get help for his selective eating disorder until they saw a similar case on TV. His life has now been turned around but his mother says his condition should have been taken more seriously by doctors. This clip is originally from 5 live Drive on Tuesday 19th July 2016.
