Why the study?
Data about children with familial chylomicronemia syndrome are rare, and maintaining a lifelong very strict low-fat diet can be challenging in pediatric patients.
Does a fat-restricted diet reduce triglycerides and prevent acute pancreatitis in children with familial chylomicronemia syndrome?
Population
Four children (50% male) affected by FCS

Fat restriction may reduce triglycerides and resolve pancreatitis in pediatric familial chylomicronemia; hypothesis-generating, requiring prospective confirmation.
Does a fat-restricted diet reduce triglycerides and prevent acute pancreatitis in children with familial chylomicronemia syndrome?
A strict fat-restricted diet (10-26% of daily calories) is feasible and effective in reducing triglycerides and preventing acute pancreatitis in pediatric patients with familial chylomicronemia syndrome.
