Who else has PKU?


Does anyone else out there have the condition Phenylketonuria? My niece was born with it and has a sibling with it. I know its not life threatening (when special diets are followed) and I know its not contageous. In fact I know everything I need to know for now as my neice is only 1. I would just like to know how many other people on Y! answers has PKU.

Sorry - I don't have it.
We just learnt about this in our Higher Biology Class this week, so I thought I would let you know that people are being eductated about it!

Just wanted to say I'm 16 and I do have PKU. I have six other siblings and one (Erica, 8) has PKU aswell. We're both allowed 300mg of phe or 20 exchanges. I drink Vitaflo PKU express coolers (orange and purple) and XPhe Maxamum juice boxes (orange and berry). My sister drinks Phenex 2 unflavored. Report It

Oh and sorry I wrote to you this way, I wasn't sure how else to go about doing this. If you ever want to email me and talk more my email address is completeangel@ameritech.net
