Eating issues in kids with metabolic diseases on special diets
Part of Genetic & congenital, Hormones & metabolism, Mental health clinical trials.
This trial studies eating disorders in young children with certain inherited metabolic diseases that require a special diet. It aims to understand how often these eating problems happen and what they look like.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
