The boy must fast all his life
5-year-old Keaton Foale is facing the future of not eating at all, because he suffers from a rare genetic disorder that occurs only with a probability of 1 in 135 million people.
Keaton is diagnosed with congenital congenital disorder Glycosylation 2, meaning that he cannot eat normally. For the rest of her life, she must be fed through a tube that goes straight into the stomach.

The illness of the boy confused the doctors around the world, DailyMail said. The disease was first discovered when he could not drink bottle milk at 3 months of age.
When X-rays of the food are taken, doctors at Sunderland General Hospital (UK) are surprised to find that the milk has stuck in the baby's throat - she simply cannot swallow. Any drops of milk that are lucky to pass through the throat will cause him to vomit right away, or to enter his lungs.
To save Keaton's life, doctors had to cover the stomach when he was 6 months old.
Instead of feeding by mouth, people put a special tube into Keaton's stomach to feed him with a mixture of energy-rich milk, 4 times a day, each lasting 50 minutes.
For years, doctors have been unable to diagnose what happened to the baby, even now, only knowing that he has a unique condition. Only a few people in the world can overcome this situation.
Glycosylation tuyp 2 is a non-hereditary gene disorder, and can cause a variety of different syndromes, such as cancer and deafness.
Not only was he unable to eat, Keaton also bleed in a regular manner and often reduced some blood points each year. Sometimes, babies bleed 2-3 times a week.
Even now, although he was able to climb up and down the stairs himself, it was still difficult for him to speak.
American doctor Hudson Freeze, one of the few experts in the field, said Keaton was the most unusual case he had ever met.
"With the disease that the baby suffers, we still do not know what specific genes have errors , " he said. There is currently no cure for this disease.
