Rare disease causes British girl to eat glass, wool
A helpless mother-of-two has revealed how her daughter suffers from a rare condition which sees her 'eating the house' - including the walls, sofa and glass.
Stacey A'Hearne, 25, from Blackwood, Wales, must constantly monitor three-year-old Wynter to stop her munching on potentially dangerous items around the house.
Her little one suffers from pica - an unusual eating disorder which sparks sufferers' cravings for inedible household objects.
The little one has even been caught smashing up a photo frame to try and eat shards of glass and even took chunks out of a brand new sofa.
'She is literally eating the whole house,' Stacey said.
'I bought a brand-new sofa and she's taken chunks out of it. She's really fussy with normal food but she'll sit and each a sponge.
But since Wynter's cravings got worse and she became non-verbal, the mother-of-two has made a desperate plea for help - and is exhausted monitoring her 24/7.
Stacey has caught Wynter, who also has autism, eating plaster off the walls, foam from inside the sofa, and gnawing on the side of a highchair.
She has even watched the toddler smash photo frames and attempt to eat the shards of glass.
And the little girl has started waking up in the night to chew on her cot and blanket she's sleeping in.
Stacey first noticed Wynter putting things in her mouth as a baby and didn't think it was anything serious.
