Don't worry, we just need to adjust it slightly. Just add about 250 calories to your current daily calorie intake (so if you were just eating 2500 calories per day, you'd now eat 2750 calories per day) and then monitor what your weight does over the next couple of weeks.

A number sign (#) is used with this entry because classic galactosemia is caused by homozygous or compound heterozygous mutation in the galactose-1-phosphate uridylyltransferase gene (GALT; 606999) on chromosome 9p13.
What causes galactosemia? Classic galactosemia occurs when an enzyme called galactose-1-phosphate uridyltransferase (GALT) is missing or not functional. This liver enzyme is responsible for breaking down galactose (a sugar byproduct of lactose found in breast milk, cowâs milk and other dairy foods) into glucose.
