Rett Syndrome Symptoms, Causes, and Treatments

Eating Issues

Rett syndrome often causes your daughters to have an aversion to foods or just enjoy a small appetite. Moreover, they might have difficulty swallowing and chewing. Constipation can also happen. As a result, their body weight and size might be much lower than usual. In some severe cases, your children might even have malnutrition. In a couple of weeks, they often feel hungry and have more interest in some types of foods. However, this does not last long without medical treatments. [6]
