10 Prader Willi Syndrome Symptoms
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Symptom #7: Food Cravings
Food can be delicious, so much so that it can be difficult to say no to more. Still, most of us know when enough is enough and we try to limit our food intake to within reasonable levels. People with Prader-Willi syndrome, however, can experience uncontrollable cravings for food.
The symptom will often begin as young as around 2 years old. As expected, it can cause considerable weight gain, causing the patient to become obese. The patient may even display behaviors such as hoarding food for later and some might even take food from the garbage in order to satisfy their cravings.
