Galactosaemia is a rare, inherited, metabolic disease which is caused by the deficiency of the enzyme galactose-1-phosphate uridyl transferase. This enzyme is needed for the body to break down and use galactose in the body. The main source of galactose is from lactose, the sugar in milk. The main treatment of galactosaemia is a strict lactose free diet. Further information is found under the link about galactosaemia.


Diet Updates
The Galactosaemia Support Group brings families with galactosaemic children (and adult galactosaemics) into contact with each other and offers support where most needed. Through the group the families are able to share experiences, help each other with problems and exchange information and ideas.
The group is in contact with many food companies and obtains lactose-free food lists of their products. We aim to promote awareness of galactosaemia within the medical and teaching professions, the food and pharmaceutical industries and the general public.

The group fundraises to finance research into galactosaemia.
