PKU and bone density problems?

I have pku and I break A-LOT of bones, I've broken 4 just this school year so far, does anyone know if this could be related to my pku? Phenelketonuria.

Yes, most likey. Individuals who suffer from PKU have problems with bone density due to dietary deficiencies in protein, calcium and vitamin D.

Hey I have PKU too, I've never broken bones yet, but I heard from an adult with PKU that their doctor told them they're at a higher risk of osteoporsis. I would guess if you drink you formula you should be fine. Report It

I like pancakes
