Description:
A young woman with a paralysed stomach hasn't been able to eat or drink anything for eight years - and is fed through her heart to survive. <br/><br/>Liv Rose, 25, has struggled with stomach pain since the age of three but says doctors dismissed it as 'tummy ache'.<br/><br/>She struggled to eat anything other than bland foods - such as plain pasta or chicken.<br/><br/>Liv began vomiting undigested food but says her symptoms were dismissed for an eating disorder at first.<br/><br/>She was finally diagnosed with gastroparesis - when food passes through the stomach slower than it should - and pan-gut dysmotility - where the gut does not work as it should.<br/><br/>Now Liv has a Hickman line which goes directly into her heart so she can receive nutrition.
