Galactosemia: A Little Known Disorder PDF Print E-mail
Jennifer - My two month old son was just diagnosed with Galactosemia. Galactosemia is a metabolic disorder where he lacks the enezyme to break down galactose. He will have to live the rest of his life dairy free. This is not a form of lactose-intolerance. Where lactose intolerance is an allergy, galactosemia is a genetic disorder.

People with this disorder cannot break done the sugar in milk--any animal milk. The sugar then builds up in the persons system and becomes toxic. It can cause liver and kidney damage, brain damage, developmental damages, and even death.

I am grateful to have found a dairy-free food site where I can find things like dairy-free mac and cheese and crackers. My husband and I are changing aour diet to accomadate our sons diet. Finding your site will make that easier. Thank you.
