Her mum Julia Cain, 49, recalled: “She would only eat chicken nuggets.
“She’d have three or four with fries, but usually didn’t finish it.
"In her lunch box, she’d just have plain bread.”
She often curled up in a ball to avoid food.
Julia sought help and Jessica has been diagnosed with avoidant restrictive food intake disorder.
After a few weeks with a hypnotherapist, she can now enjoy a roast dinner at home in Swindon.
