Suffering from a rare disease, the 10-year-old boy often feels hungry despite eating continuously

David - a boy from Singapore, was diagnosed with Prader-Willi Syndrome (bulky eating disorder) which makes him always feel hungry no matter how much he eats.

Imagine filling your stomach with loads of nutritious food and never really felt full? That is what David Soo, a boy from Singapore has to face every day of his life.

David Soo suffers from a rare complex illness called Prader-Willi Syndrome (bulging disorder) along with other severe symptoms that make the sufferer feel hungry no matter how much they eat. whatever.

The disease is caused by the loss of function of genes in a certain region of chromosome 15 and it cannot be cured.

If left unsupervised, the person with this strange disease can put themselves at risk.

Living with Prader-Willi Syndrome (PWS) is difficult, especially for those caring for someone with the illness. Since persistent cravings for food are so strong, special measures need to be taken to ensure that the patient is always eating properly.

Obesity is one of the main dangers of dealing with PWS, but it's not the only one.

The medical literature has documented many cases of people with PWS developing holes or tears in their intestines due to abnormal food intake and even necrosis of stomach tissue. Other complications include severe bloating and a decreased ability to empty the stomach.

Left unsupervised, people with this strange disease can put themselves at risk by eating toxic foods like spoiled or junk food, which are harmful to the stomach.

Affected children may also exhibit unusual food-related behaviors including hoarding or foraging food, stealing food, stealing money to buy food.

In David Soo's case, the boy's family went to great lengths to control his weight, going so far as to lock the kitchen door to make sure David Soo didn't overeat.

They also set up a very specific eating schedule, so the boy knew exactly when it was time to eat or when to snack.

The good news is that if David's weight remains under control, his life expectancy and quality of life will be comparable to that of the average person.

The problem is that the boy will face being forced to eat constantly for the rest of his life, and David Soo probably won't have a family to take care of him forever, so he will have to learn to control himself. self.

Although there is currently no cure for Prader-Willi Syndrome, therapies can help relieve symptoms by focusing on the hormone deficiencies and development associated with this rare condition.
