Is it a law that you have to stay on pku diet?


Is it a law that you have to stay on pku diet?

not to my knowledge it isn't. You would have to explain a little more about the circumstances.

Well if your an adult nobody can really stop you from going off...I think it's a dumb idea though.If your a parent talking about your child, I've seen children's clinics contact Child protective services for that. Report It

That's basically the same as shaking a baby, you can cause brain damage in small children!

I know because I have PKU. Report It

That's tough. If it's for yourself, no - but know that you'll be losing IQ points each week that you don't follow it. If you're a parent and you're asking about keeping your child on it....well, if you don't continue the diet, the child will grow progressively more mentally impaired, and I'm sure someone could easily consider that child abuse.
