Birthday cake, a hot dog, even a McDonald’s Happy Meal are all off limits to our six-year-old son James.
James doesn’t have food allergies, though. He suffers from PKU, which drastically limits his diet for the rest of his life. PKU means James’ body can’t metabolize phenylalanine, one of the building blocks of protein.

Nutricia held another of our low protein cookery days on the 14th January 2009 at The Cookery School, London. The aim of the day was to provide Health Care Professionals (HCPs), with practical tips and advice to pass on to the patients they have who follow a restricted, low protein diet. The group was made up of mainly dietitians but there was also a dietetic chef who didn’t have much experience in this area.

My name is Julie and I have PKU. I wanted to take a few moments to share my experiences with you. I am 22 and I have 3 brothers, but I am the only one with this condition.As a child I can remember feeling a little different particularly at meal times. My parents were great though: there were always making stories up about my special diet. My brothers, who are all older than me were also involved my education.
