Patient's question:
What are the precautions for galactosemia? After the child was fed breast milk, they vomited dryly and refused to eat. The doctor diagnosed them with galactosemia. The doctor said they needed to stop breastfeeding and pay attention to the child's diet. Since our family has little education and it's the first time we've heard of this disease, we don't know what to pay attention to, so we wanted to ask the doctor for guidance. The help we hope to receive: What are the precautions for galactosemia?Doctor's answer:
The dietary care methods for galactosemia are as follows: Patients with galactosemia should consume some low-sugar, light, and high-calorie foods, such as venison, sesame seeds, pumpkin seeds, and roasted chestnuts. These foods contain low sugar levels and will never cause excessive accumulation of galactose, which may increase the likelihood of the disease. Patients with galactosemia should avoid foods that contain lactose and high sugar. These foods can cause galactose to accumulate rapidly, such as beer, malt sugar, brown sugar, and white sugar. It is recommended that patients eat some foods like soybean milk porridge, soybean milk pumpkin soup, pork bone radish soup, seaweed radish soup, and radish porridge, which are beneficial for the self-healing of galactosemia.
