A young woman with a paralysed stomach hasn't been able to eat or drink anything for eight years - and is fed through her heart to survive. <br /><br />Liv Rose, 25, has struggled with stomach pain since the age of three but says doctors dismissed it as 'tummy ache'.<br /><br />She struggled to eat anything other than bland foods - such as plain pasta or chicken.<br /><br />Liv began vomiting undigested food but says her symptoms were dismissed for an eating disorder at first.<br /><br />She was finally diagnosed with gastroparesis - when food passes through the stomach slower than it should - and pan-gut dysmotility - where the gut does not work as it should.<br /><br />Now Liv has a Hickman line which goes directly into her heart so she can receive nutrition.
