My Baby.

10 Things parents of PKUers are tired of hearing...
1) So your kid has to have a low protein diet, that just means she has to be a vegetarian, no big deal!
2) My kid is lactose intolerant so I understand!
3) That is what you get for eating unhealthily during pregnancy!
4) She'll grow out of it.
5) She'll be so healthy eating fruits and veggies all the time!
6) So does that mean she'll have to be gluten free?
7) 350mg sounds like a lot! (when referring to phe intake)
8) What is phenylalanine? What is an amino acid?
9) My baby had to have a heel prick once, it was horrible, I know what you're going through!
10) Maybe you shouldn't have anymore kids if you're going to give them PKU again.
Heard all of these at a family BBQ last week! Good grief...
