Julie Dunbar, 51 years of age, lost a staggering 14 and-a-half stone in 12 months after a rare complication caused her body to stop abosrbing nutrients.
she ended up dangerously malnourished and close to death in hospital, before doctors diagnosed the condition and remedy- eating as much as she can.
Julie now has to eat constantly throughout the day as her body can only ingest a tiny fraction of the total calories she takes in. She describes her constant need for food as a 'chore' which in her words ' is like a full time job'.
