      @@adrianbogdy There are 4 possibilities when a kid is born. 25% chance of having no PKU genes, meaning healthy. 50% chance of having 1 PKU gene, meaning you become a healthy carrier, meaning you can pass it on. And 25 % chance of having 2 PKU genes. Meaning you are then sick with PKU. Having high disease :/

    I have classical PKU the worst type of PKU I'm a pioneer I'm 53 years old in 1972 I was taken off treatment buy doctors it was a Norm at that time you are 5 and 1/2 for 6 they thought that that's as far as you needed to go I've been off diet since the mid-1990s I'm back on diet I've had good levels but I do cheat every now and then I can't afford the PKU food because it's very expensive I'm also disabled because when the doctor took me off treatments I'm on Medicare and Medicaid I developed a learning disability but I'm not retarded I live alone and I'm doing okay life is still bit of challenging for me and I have a case manager that helps me on the side because of having the learning disabilities so you younger adults you're blessed stay on your diet and you won't have a problem that I have I have to keep fighting to stay on my diet because of all the years I was taken off diet so you people with PKU out there keep going God bless

    I have PKU and it can be challenging but I have been on a restricted diet since I was born, I am 28 now and I am use to the diet. For pregnant women, the diet can be more strict to ensure nothing happens to baby (I am expecting and I already have a healthy beautiful girl with no PKU). You cannot develop PKU as an adult, you are born with it. I read it is common in Caucasians and Native Americans.

      Mcbaaby It gets diagnosed at around 24 hours after birth. Every child gets screened for PKU. The docs take blood from the heel of the baby and checks the Phe and Tyrosine levels. If the Phe levels are high and the Tyrosine levels are low, additional testing is done to properly diagnose the baby with PKU. If diagnosed, the baby goes on a low to no Phe diet formula.

      @@rileyhouston7761 Speaking as a PKU patient from the UK, we have both a Dietitian and Nutritionist who look after us. This is to assure we are managing our diets well and that the food we are eating is acceptable for our Phenylalanine tolerance. You need to remember the diet and food is very strict, so it must be managed well which is easier said than done especially in the late teen/adult phase when you may want to experiment with food more, so it is necessary to have these resources readily available to manage PKU as best as possible, I hope this helps.
