The chef who was SICK after every meal: Rare disorder stopping food from reaching her stomach made 28-year-old's weight plummet to 7 stone

Louise Rogers (left), 28, from Huddersfield, was diagnosed with achalasia - where the oesophagus cannot push food in to the stomach and is often brought back up in May this year.


Unable to keep anything down, her weight began to plummet to just 7st4lb - losing more than three stone in as many years. When she went out for dinner, she often had to work out where the nearest toilet was to be sick, which she said was a 'nightmare'. But an operation (right) to tighten the muscles close to her stomach (inset) meant she could finally enjoy going out for a nice meal again - without throwing it up.
