Two-year-old food phobic will only eat yoghurt

A two-year-old boy has driven his parents to despair by refusing to eat any food apart from yoghurt.

Little Bobby Glarvey eats his way through 14 pots of his favourite dairy food every day and refuses to eat anything else that his parents put in front of him.

The toddler has been diagnosed with a rare food phobia that means he can't bear to have any lumpy food in his mouth.



Parents Craig Glarvey, 28, and Sally Green 33, even have an extra fridge - just to store Bobby's mountain of yoghurts.

Bobby's mother, a child minder said : "We have tried all ways to get him to eat other food but he just spits it out. He's never had a hot meal in his life.

Bobby's daily diet starts with five pots of yoghurt for breakfast , followed by another three for lunch and four for his evening meal. His day finishes with two or three more for his supper.
