Rocco had such extreme food phobia he would cry and be sick if his mum got him to hold chicken or vegetables
A fussy schoolboy who only ate chocolate and crisps his entire life has finally had a proper meal – thanks to hypnosis. Eight-year-old Rocco O’Brien munched down on Cadbury’s chocolate, Nutella spread and Pringles salty crisps - all washed down with Nesquik milk.
Heidi, 45, said: “Rocco’s food fussiness started as soon as we started weaning him. He was gagging on everything and was avoiding certain foods. “He’s got a sensory processing disorder and his senses are heightened. He’s been hit with all of them. He’s afraid to touch most food. He just had bottles of baby milk. That’s all he’d have. We got him off the bottles of milk at about six.
“I felt like people thought I was a bad parent, it was all that was running through my head. My first concern was it was just sugar. We had to give him drops to put in the milk and he’d know.
