Default Anyone familiar with Glycogen Storage disease? - 05-20-2009, 09:22 PM

I need some information about GSD. My son was not formally diagnosed with the disease but had all the signs. I was also wondering if any one knows of a person having this condition and also having a bone disorder that is linked to GSD. Thanks.

Glycogen storage disease (GSD) is a group of inherited (born with) disorders where an abnormal amount or type of glycogen is stored in the liver. Children with GSD type Ib appear normal at birth, but will begin to show symptoms of enlarged liver, swollen abdomen, delayed or stunted growth, irritability, and seizures.. The treatment of GSD type Ib involves a careful monitoring of the affected person's diet, both in frequency of meals and type of foods eaten.
