We’ve had the opportunity to manage and treat less common disorders such as:
Platelet dysfunction G6PD deficiency Genetic disorders are the result of faulty genes. Lifelong management is necessary. Dietary manipulations are needed to circumvent the metabolic defect. This is particularly important when the defect is an inborn error of metabolism eg., phenylketonuria. Malnutrition may be a major problem and should be managed as the diets can be restrictive. Intellectual disability, seizures, behavioral problems, and mental disorders can also compound some of these disorders.
I am a doctor by profession and I was under treatment for urticaria. Shweta highlighted the importance of diet in controlling inflammation. The diet was planned to keep overall health in mind as my profession demands me to remain high on energy and immunity. As doctors, we are responsible for maintaining our own health first so that we can tend to our patients better.
