What are the dietary methods for phenylketonuria?

Patient's question:

My husband currently has phenylketonuria, and I want to cook some food for him every day to supplement his diet. I don't know how to treat it to get better. What should he eat? How can phenylketonuria be treated with dietary therapy?

Doctor's answer:

Insulation: When a newborn is diagnosed with phenylketonuria, it should always maintain insulation. The principle is that the newborn's body maintains sufficient heat to increase the uptake of phenylalanine. This is done to reduce the harm of the disease to the child. Always maintain adequate vitamin supply: When children are on a diet, parents should pay attention to providing sufficient vitamin supply. However, it is worth noting that children should pay attention to controlling their diet in daily life, but they should also consume the nutrients needed for physical and mental development.
