HOW SIX-YEAR-OLD’S RARE EATING DISORDER PUTS STRAIN ON WHOLE FAMILY
05 May 2007
TRAPPED IN OWN WORLD Family’s despair at boy’s bizarre eating disorder SIX-year-old  Thomas   Foreman ’s parents have to keep him under constant watch to stop him eating carpets, cushions, soil and dirt. Vicky and Jonathan have had to redesign the family home, stripping it of carpets, to stop  Thomas , left, from chewing things that could make him ill. His eating disorder has made  Thomas  a virtual prisoner as it is difficult to visit friends’ houses or enjoy a day out. Today his mother thanked the Chronicle after our Sunshine Fund bought a “Safe Space” for  Thomas , a tent in his bedroom where he can sleep and play safely. Vicky, 38, a teacher, said: “ Thomas  has an overwhelming desire to eat fluff. He also loves to eat gritty things. He will eat soil, dirt, sand and soot, and lick stones and sticks.’’
