Congenital Glucose Galactose malabsorption (CGGM) is a rare
disorder with limited data from the Arab world. We report the

diarrhea since birth with hypernatraemic dehydration. B.S
was found to have Glucose Galactose Malabsorption based on
clinical trial of ORS and elemental formula. Symptoms resolved

not been reported earlier in CGGM.
