Shine a Light on Galactosemia
What is Galactosemia?
Galactosemia is a rare genetic disease where the body cannot process the simple sugar called galactose. Since the body cannot process this sugar like it is supposed to, it builds up in the bloodstream and can cause many life-threatening side effects. Galactose is found in milk products including all milk from humans and any animals. There is no cure for galactosemia, but it is possible to live with this disease if an extremely strict no lactose diet is followed.
