Story

I was diagnosed with PKU  by the “heel prick” new-born screening test.

Phenylketonuria (PKU) is a rare metabolic disorder. People with PKU cannot metabolise phenylalanine, an amino acid found in the protein in foods. This builds up to levels that are toxic to the brain. Each day I have to count the amount of protein I have and take a supplement protein drink four times a day. I bring my own special foods with me to parties and to go with school dinners. I also do blood tests every two weeks to ensure that I'm not having to much protein a day. 

 Please help support NSPKU so they can help many more families
