A member asked:
Please tell me if there are anything a person who has galactosemia can not participate in because of his disorder?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Galactosemia: As long as the person is healthy, there are no specific restrictions except those involving diet. For instance, the person shouldn't sign up for an ice cream eating contest! All kidding aside, let them lead a full and rewarding life - treat the person AS a person with special needs, not as a special needs person.
