Physicians explain why patients with
Familial Chylomicronemia Syndrome (
FCS) should follow an
extremely low fat diet, and what it consists of. At this time, the only effective treatment for FCS is to follow a very low fat diet that includes less than 20 grams of fat per day. You can achieve this by eating low-fat foods like vegetables, fruit, egg whites, low-fat dairy products, fish, and lean poultry. Nutrition plays a key role in managing FCS, therefore working with a registered dietician and a doctor who is an expert in lipid disorders is critically important. The National Pancreas Foundation and the FCS Foundation can help if you need guidance and support.
