A woman told today how she never feels hunger or thirst after she was unable to eat or drink for 15 years because of a rare condition.
Molly Smith, 20, was rushed to hospital as a young child after her small intestine turned in on itself and had to be removed by surgeons.
As a result of the operation she was unable to digest food or drink and had to be fed through a tube directly into her heart for the next 15 years.
Molly has now undergone a lifesaving triple transplant to replace her liver, bowel and pancreas, which means she can eat and drink for the first time.
However, her years without food have left her unable to feel hunger or thirst or enjoy eating food. More + photos...
