Woman Who Has Been Eating Toilet Paper for over 20 Years
In the News
I have heard some weird diets over the years but this takes the biscuit ,or the toilet roll in this case
In fact she has eaten 6,350 kilos of toilet paper over the past 20 years
To break it down she eats about 4 rolls day
Her addiction makes it sound like she is eating a burger bun, using words like 'crisp and melty', depending on the ply
In fact she says it's like 'eating a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, without the crust'
Lets hope she is not into takeaways, i think i might gag if i thought she might eat any from a public toilet , yuk !

Initial thoughts -
What was her mother thinking?
It's a shame no-one has told her that she needs to use it at the other end of her body!
Does she use it 'before' or afterwards'?
Was it her that caused the mad panic during covid - imagine living next to a neighbour who eats toilet roll when you haven't enough of the stuff to do what it is meant for! Did she have to run for her life?
This made me feel quite sad as she is not very old so must have been doing this during childhood, another black mark for stupid parenting. She says zero calories, but she is not exactly slim and she must eat other food or she would be dead by now so she must constantly feel full up.
Part of me thinks this is highly exaggerated as I am not sure it is even possible, your mouth would be so dry and you would have to drink loads in order to 'flush' it down and break it down. Could be self cleansing when evacuated
Lynibis We live in such a strange world now i don't know what to believe anymore L
Nice pun though, its hard not to joke with a subject like this , although eating wood pulp cannot be too healthy in the long run
I wonder if she considers Izal , the harder stuff fast food ?
Heres some interesting facts about it, you can still buy it , but who would want to use it unless you are into pain 
The IZAL brand finally ceased production in 2010 after being sold to Jeyes in 1986. However, should anybody feel the need for a trip down memory lane Nostalgic Rolls of IZAL Medicated Toilet Tissue are available for £1.99 on eBay.Feb 17, 2023
Well what on earth can you say to that totally bonkers what would ever make you want to do it in the first place !!
sallylester1 It is a type of disorder apparently S, i found this on google
What if I eat a lot of paper?
Eating paper, a form of Xylophagia (wood eating), is both common in children and a possible indication of mental illness in adults. Large amounts of paper, reduced to pulp in the gut, can lead to obstructed bowels. This is non-trivial and can lead to surgical intervention.
This is a mental illness surely and how has her body not been made seriously poorlu
SaveMeSunday It is S, but more common than we realise
She has been very lucky up to now not to fall ill, but as she gets older the risk will increase unless she seeks help
There are countries where people dont use toilet paper , so this problem doesn't occur, they use a bidet instead, or if they dont have a bidet they use their left hand, disgusting as it seems
This is why in some arabic countries , for example, it is forbidden to shake with this hand , for obvious reasons
What,that's not what Toilet Roll should ve used for! Someone I knew vaguely NEVER used toilet ,my friend told me ..
