    I have the same exact life as you - the same struggles, the same frustrations. My daughter has classic PKU, My daughter also takes Phenex, and the Low Protein Food list is my Bible! I too get sick of the "stupid questions" but keep answering them anyway all with a smile on my face for the sake of my daughter. Great video, I liked the humor you stuck in there. Keep hangin in there girl, and if you ever need to talk to someone who understands I'm here for ya.

    I have PKU and wasn't diagnosed until I turned 3. When I was 2 my doctor told my parents that I would be lucky if I could wash windows at McDonald's for adult employment. Nobody had any hope for me, except for my parents. I am starting my sophomore year in high school fully included with supports. My mom believed in me and advocated for intensive services. She did everything to give me the best shot at a life and I learned to believe in myself.

    Seriously? She's going through a great deal of stress, and is using this as an outlet to release some of her anxiety, but also help others. Also, if you watch UA-cam very much, she's using a common method of creating videos.
    Thank you Mom for your info. I deal with Dercum's Disease daily, and I totally understand where you are coming from. I wish someone would post a video like this for us. Good for you for being strong for your beautiful daughter. She's a lucky little girl.

    Hey, my sister and I share this account so I'm posting from here. I'm 19, I have PKU, and I absolutely loved this video. I'm sitting here thinking, now why didn't I do this? Because seriously, I have to explain this all the time to friends who invite me over. They don't get it sometimes.
    Thanks a bunch. Going to have to recommend this video to a few people.

    Very well explained!! I vaguely heard of phenyl-keto-nuria - this video is a plus to comprehend it- one thing is for sure, this kid will never get fat!! Veggies are great!! Only once in my life Ive heard about this condition through a student and a warning sign of a parent telling me that her child mustnt eat anything from any class birthday party whereas a birthday cake might be served so I looked it up to learn about it thanks for the refresher course!! Great video!!

    Great video!
    I'm 30 and have PKU, and the thing I hate most when explaining that I can't eat certain things to people, when I get to the milk and cheese stuff, they always says "So, you're lactose intolerant?"
    grrrrr!!!

    I was diagnosed with pku when I was born but I'm grateful that it doesn't effect what I eat. Besides products with aspartame which is fine because aspartame is terrible for health.

    I have PKU and it is a rare disease! i read what the last post was and just because kids are tested for it doesn't mean it's not rare. In Norway where I am from we are only around 200 people with PKU and the number is higher other places due to different numbers of people living in that specific country. But I liked your video:)

  • @AsSweetAsether
    @AsSweetAsether 15 років тому

    I hate when people say your child will never get fat, Many people with PKu are obese because the lab made foods are so high in calories, were not vegans...

    I know! Im so stupid! In my defense, though, I had just moved back to the USA from Mexico, where Katy was diagnosed. We did everything in spanish, so when I translated it to english, I got the pronunciation all wrong... and like an idiot- I made a BIG emphasis on it. Too late, now. At least the information is out and people are learning...

    Your child is not bad off, she has about 20 exchanges which, when I was her age I only had 6. It's not (fenyl-ketuu-noria, its feenal-keetone-newria) anyway, wait until your daughter is pregnant and has morning sickness, you think its hard now wait until she throws up the formula...
    *PKU at 25 and pregnant

    Ha you think you have it tough being her mom, just be there for her during high school when she starts feeling how much of a choke hold it actually has on her life.
    Also my three absolute favourite questions I get from people are;
    So can you have tofu?
    What about soy!?
    You must eat a lot of nuts right?
    Restaurants are my favourite place to go! They don't make me realize how freaking terrible my choices are ever!
    Or when your sister 'forgets' you have PKU and feed you a salad with nuts in it!
