Extractions: The FOD Communication Network is intended to be used as a resource for families, friends, doctors, researchers and others who would like to support, educate and provide a forum for the sharing of ideas and concerns for those whose lives have been touched by a Fatty Oxidation Disorder. Family Stories are shared, questions are answered, nutrition information is discussed, and medical and pharmaceutical updates are offered. You can also view our current newsletter as well as our archive of past newsletters for more information and stories. If you have a comment, would like to ask a question, or you want to 'Register for the Group' you may do so by contacting us via our online form.

Extractions: Fatty Oxidation Disorders (FODs) are genetic metabolic deficiencies in which the body is unable to oxidize (breakdown) fatty acids to make energy because an enzyme is either missing or not working correctly. The main source of energy for the body is a sugar called glucose. Normally when the glucose runs out, fat is broken down into energy. However, that energy is not readily available to children and adults with an FOD. If undiagnosed and untreated, these disorders can lead to serious complications affecting the liver, heart, eyes and general muscle development, and possibly death. Symptoms

Extractions: She was surrounded by family and friends who adored her. She was a happy little girl who loved life. She loved to dress up and thought she was a princess. She loved unicorns, rainbows, the moon ,stars and everything magical. She loved to dance and sing, she went to ballet. She loved school and was very bright. We run a pub and she was everyone's friend, she would interact with all, she treated the pub as if it was her playhouse. She had a great temper and would scare the most brave, all would run if she was upset. She was the centre of our world and we are so lost without her, but we feel very honoured to have been blessed with her. Her passing was sudden and totally unexpected. We are still in the process of tests for a precise diagnosis, but now know she had a problem in how she digested food. The problem happened in the couple of hours before she passed, it was that sudden. Nothing could have prepared us, she was a picture of health.

Extractions: helpful? yes no Fatty acids are one of the body's fuels: oxidation is the process by which they are broken down to release energy. This process has many steps, each catalysed by a different enzyme. Fatty acid oxidation disorders result from deficiency of one of these enzymes: MCAD deficiency is the commonest disorder. Patients with MCAD deficiency are healthy most of the time. Infections or prolonged fasting, however, can lead to drowsiness and coma or sudden death. This can be prevented by avoiding fasting and maintaining a regular intake of sugar during infections - by mouth or intravenously if the child vomits. With this simple management, outcomes are excellent. Patients with other fatty acid oxidation disorders also need to avoid fasting and to maintain a regular sugar intake during infections. Unfortunately, they can have additional problems, such as muscle problems or heart muscle disease. Treatment usually involves a low fat diet.

Disorders Fatty Acid Oxidation Disorders Babies born with fatty acid oxidation disorders are unable to break down stored fats into energy. Energy from fat keeps the body running whenever it runs out of its main source: glucose. Prolonged fasting (i.e., going for long periods without eating, such as during an illness) can lead to severe, life-threatening symptoms or even death. Treatment includes dietary management and avoiding long periods without eating. MCAD (medium chain acyl-coA dehydrogenase) deficiency is a fatty acid oxidation disorder.
