Recommendations
Diet changes may control the disorder. The type and extent of the changes depends on the specific metabolic error. For example, persons with galactosemia should avoid milk and milk products, including yogurt, cheese, and ice cream. Galactose and lactose-free milk substitutes and foods should be used.
Health care providers and registered dietitians can help create a diet appropriate for the specific disease.
