                                Refsum disease is a rare genetic disorder affecting just 1 in 1,000,000 people, where the body cannot properly metabolize a fatty acid called phytanic acid. The primary treatment for managing symptoms is a strict diet to control the intake of this fatty acid, which means knowing what foods you should avoid with Refsum disease is crucial.
