Getting back ‘on diet’ - PKU

By Andrew M

Hi my name is Andrew i am 36 years old, when i was younger i was on a strict diet which was controlled by my mum. When i got to my teens, the doctors wanted me off the diet. When the doctors told me this i said no. I was to used to the diet (low pro) however over the years things started to slip away till i was not on the diet. 

in 2001 my mum passed away, my great support towards the end of 2007, i was getting angry till one day i grew so angry that i could not control it at all. It reminded me of the days when my count was to high and it was a wake up call. so i found a PKU clinic in Perth western Australia saw the the doc and he said i was back on the diet for life and this blog is of me learning and training my self back on to the diet.

   Hi,

   My name is Moya and I am 40 years old. When I was younger I was put on a strict diet from birth to the age of 6….but doctors told my parents that it was ok to be off diet. And I was off diet for over 30 years. The past five years or so I have been struggling everyday. I can only take one day at a time. And if anybody thinks they want to be off diet. Please, dont do that….you will have more problems than you can imagine if you ignore your diet. Be well, stay healthy always. Drink up your milk everyday. Dont skip either…I cant tell you how important it is to not skip you formula.

   You can do it, reach for the clouds.
