As a child, I started eating meat, under controlled circumstances, aged 15. By 18, I had returned to a normal diet.

I'm now careering toward 50 and have been off-diet for over 30 years.

Asking fellow PKU-ers if anyone has any recommendations for guidance on returning to a strict low-protein diet in later life?

Watch out folks - hitting a favourite.

Unknowingly paid the same for these in the online shop. Koko have reduced the tub from 500g to 400g with no price change.

also annoying as no longer 3phe per tub

Loganberries are a thornless cross between blackberries & raspberries.
Phe- free, tasty, and more productive than all my strawberry plants!

I’ve been watching Asian cooking (East Asian) and they use MSG. I was wondering if anyone knew if MSG was free/allowed for PKU folks?

I somehow missed Rare Disease Day yesterday, 28th February, which is a bit of a faux pas for a carrier of a rare disease gene (Classic PKU) and a dad to a kid with PKU. I wouldn’t have missed it on the Other Site. Isolated communities excel at using Twitter to cohere around spotlight days or months. But in good news today I’ve found two other Mastodonians using the PKU #. Our rare community just grew a little.

Saturday’s blood test result has proved to be really good! 271umol/L!

The ideal range should be 120-650umol/L, so this is an absolutely excellent result!!!

So now Cambrooke are having a word with the pharmacy to get their supplier and (hoping) they give them a serious (verbal) walloping for messing this up so badly.

I just want my damn supplements, man...
