Galactosemia: The Diet

• Individuals with galactosemia have a deficiency of the enzyme galactose-1-phosphate uridyltransferase (GALT) that helps to metabolize galactose. Therefore, they must follow a galactose-restricted diet. Galactose is part of lactose, or “milk sugar” and so milk must be avoided. Galactose is also found in other foods as bound or free galactose. In addition, galactose can be produced endogenously, meaning the body makes some galactose on its own.
• The purpose of this book is to review the sources of galactose in the diet, describe which foods are included in the diet, and provide tips for healthy eating while on a galactose-restricted diet. The dietary recommendations presented in this booklet are intended for all ages. During infancy, the foods on the Acceptable Foods and Ingredient List can be introduced at an appropriate age to begin solids. It is not necessary to wait until a child is older to introduce allowed foods.
