Mum Emma has just a few days' worth of the food left for daughter Libby and has been searching stores far and wide
A mum is facing a desperate battle to get her hands on the only food her autistic daughter will eat. Emma Armstrong's daughter Libby Crossfield has a severely limited diet and Aldi's organic spaghetti bolognese Mamia baby food is one of very few things she will tolerate.
Now she's facing the same problem, and with Libby currently on an urgent waiting list for a gastrostomy to have a feeding tube fitted into her stomach, it's vital she continues eating ahead of that. "Last time we were in this position, everyone helped us so much," said Emma, a civil servant from Failsworth, Oldham.
"With Libby on the list to have a feeding tube fitted, if we can’t source this food, it’s really going to be catastrophic for us. If we lose this food then when she gets the feeding tube fitted she’ll be totally reliant on it. The purpose of the tube is to give us more freedom to explore as we can’t push very hard at the moment for the fear she will completely stop eating.
