Chronic symptoms of LC-FAOD develop over time and may worsen over months to years. They can be brought on or made worse by fasting or illness, sustained exercise, and physiologic stress.


Acute symptoms of LC-FAOD develop suddenly. They usually appear during an illness or if you have skipped a meal, but they may also occur spontaneously or unpredictably.

Question 2

How often do you (or your child) limit or avoid daily activities due to symptoms of LC-FAOD?

Did you know?

In LC-FAOD, when the body can’t supply enough energy to meet its needs, people may develop chronic symptoms or experience acute episodes following moderate exercise. Some people start to avoid exercise in order to avoid triggering LC-FAOD symptoms.

Question 3

Are there any other potential chronic or acute symptoms of LC-FAOD that you’d like to talk about with your LC-FAOD healthcare team?

Did you know?

LC-FAOD can cause a wide variety of symptoms that usually affect organs that use fat as a major energy source, such as the liver, heart, muscles, and eyes. People with LC-FAOD may not experience symptoms in all of these organs, and they may experience different symptoms at different times.
