INCREDIBLE!! MEET The 3 Year-Old Boy Who Weighs Over 70kg and Can’t Stop Eating! [Photos]
Misael
weighted 2.9kg when he was born but every month since then, he has
gained approximately 3 kilograms. The poor boy, who is supposedly
suffering from Prader–Willi syndrome, now weighs 70kg and is struggling
to walk.Classic signs and symptoms include constant craving for
food and rapid weight gain. Misael eats frequently and consumes large
portions and even then he still feels hungry. The boy also has serious
behavioral problems and his parents have to hire a private taxi to
transport the boy to a local hospital.
While
syndrome itself is not life threatening, the compulsive eating and
resulting weight gain can be. That is why restricting a child’s diet is a
particularly important part of managing their condition.
"And when we walk down the street, people stop, want to take pictures with him, people say that they never saw a boy this size."
Although
there is no cure for Prader-Willi syndrome, treatment aims to manage
such symptoms as a permanent feeling of hunger, which can easily lead
to dangerous weight gain, reduced muscle tone, learning difficulties and
behavioral problems.
