Dietary Precautions for Phenylketonuria

Patients with phenylketonuria should avoid consuming foods high in phenylalanine, such as fresh milk, eggs, animal liver, lean meat, and control sugar intake, with breast milk not exceeding 250 grams per day. They can consume vegetable puree, lotus root starch, and vegetable water as snacks. The only treatment method for this disease is a low-phenylalanine diet, which can help prevent brain damage. Parents must strictly adhere to and patiently execute this dietary therapy.
