Feeding tubes and anti-sickness tablets failed to help, and Shimmi lost two stone, reports The Sun.
Eventually she stumbled across a pioneering treatment which involves a special pacemaker beign attached to the stomach.
Mum-of-one Shimmi, from Bolton, said: "I was so weak I became housebound. The doctors said it could have become very serious, but the operation went well. Afterwards they gave me tomato soup, but when I got home I had saag aloo.
"Everything tastes great now and I haven't been sick since."
