My story is below and I found out about Urea Cycle Disorders and I wanted to tell you about my twenty five year old fiancé. From what I understand, Baylor University, the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota and a university in California have all been involved in studying cultures provided by Good Samaritan Hospital in Phoenix for Joseph Patrick Phillips. Would you please help me to crusade against it happening to others. Your reply would be deeply appreciated. Read the rest of this entry

London Low Protein Cookery Demo
Monday, January 19th, 2009Nutricia 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.

Metabolic Awareness Week
Friday, June 27th, 2008The 29th of June sees the advent of another Metabolic Awareness Week (from CLIMB) in the UK. As a dietetic student with a keen interest in this field, I wanted to take the opportunity of sharing my thoughts on the subject. I will write a series of articles over the coming days to help increase the exposure of Inborn Metabolic Disorders.

A single mother’s perspective on PKU. Part 1 of a PKU metabolic disorder story
Friday, May 23rd, 2008I recently received a news letter from this site and noticed that they were looking for individuals to give an account of how they have coped living with PKU. After much thought I’ve decided to put pen to paper (metaphorically speaking) and share my life (or part of it) with you. I will try and update it weekly but because of my work load I won’t promise anything yet.
