I have PKU and grew up in Australia with very little access to low protein foods. It was tough. Really tough. In most first world countries things have come a long way, but provision for the low protein diet is sorely lacking in Ireland. Products are extremely expensive to purchase and for many PKU adults and families this is not a financially viable option. The diet is incredibly limited and having access to a variety of low protein prescription foods can make all the difference in patient outcomes and additional pressures on the medical system due to lack of adherence.
