  2. I've realised I haven't posted here in a while. Also, haven't posted about movies, books, or PKU.

    PKU - my last result was 325umol/L, which is good news but a little higher! I did change the diet so that was kind of expected, was actually lower than expected 🤯

    Movies: Watched Ready or Not 2: Here They Come. It was fine, kind of like TWKY but not quite so supernatural.

    Books: How long have you got? 🤣

  3. RE: pkutalk.com/@soheb/11618860688

    The results for this bloodspot was 227umol/L!

    My weight lifting seems to be helping quite a bit with the bloodspots! Also, I've rounded down with my exchanges, which has helped quite a bit (I rarely ever hit 2 exchanges exactly).

    I'm trying to cook my own food now to cut down on visceral fat that my weighing scales report back, so next results should be interesting...

  6. Je commence à m'intéresser à un aspect hors du commun que je trouve pertinent avec la #phénylcétonurie : la tentation.

    Ça vous intéresserait une vidéo sur le sujet?

  9. What is Palynziq? And why does it have so many names?

    PAL. PEG-PAL. Pegvaliase. Palynziq.
    If you’ve ever felt confused by PKU treatment names — you’re not alone. They all describe the same enzyme-based treatment, just from different angles.

    I’ve updated my blog to explain it in plain language:
    💚 what the treatment is
    💚 how it works
    💚 where it’s available (and where it isn’t)

    I've been so busy posting about movies and books, I forgot to post some news about my PKU!

    This strange attempt at blood spot gave me a result of 277umol/L!

    SCORE!

  17. Great hike on Mont St-Hilaire today! Health metrics tracked with RingConn.

    After a carb‑rich PKU‑friendly meal, a short walk timed around the blood‑glucose peak (≈ 45 min after eating) blunts the insulin surge and supports insulin sensitivity.

    👉 Our PKU diet is naturally high in carbs, so pairing meals with a quick hike or stroll isn’t just “for digestion”, it’s a smart strategy to keep insulin spikes in check and protect long‑term metabolic health.

  19. Living with #phenylketonuria affects our quality of life. We need Sephience treatment from PTC Therapeutics to improve it, and our overall health. Here is a first testimonial that was sent to me - don't hesitate to send one to me too if you wish to contribute to this awareness effort.

  24. Turns out my next video won't be about carbohydrates. I have a cool thing to share about my last 24-hour fasting experiment.

    Il s'avère que ma prochaine vidéo ne portera pas sur les glucides. J'ai quelque chose de très cool à partager sur ma dernière expérience de jeûne de 24 heures.

  28. Just tried using the Mevalia rice and it's the one for me (an old photo of the rice with veggies).

    For one I have freedom in cooking the rice (I cook it in water with vegetable stock cube mixed for added flavour). Another reason is I can taste each rice grain.
    Third is that it ain't sticky when cooked (unless overcooking).

    This is one of the rare PKU rice that doesn't taste like pasta but manages to be even better than normal rice lol.

  29. It's not the results of my latest 24 hours fasting experiment... but it was a very important hormonal lesson!

  30. Finally - an actual PKU post!

    I got an email from Promin saying they've got this new low protein rice - rice which is pretty much "normal rice" but has gone through some process to make it only half an exchange.

    As someone who loves rice, I'm going to give this a try later on!

    You can buy the packet of rice online here: prominpku.com/product/echigo-l

  33. I wish more people knew about the use of food restrictions as a medical treatment.

    Many see the word 'diet' or food restrictions as a lifestyle choice, to be ignored or dismissed.

    In truth, many medical conditions are treated through the use of food restrictions.

    You never know what someone else is dealing with, but you can choose how you react to their requests.

    What do you wish people knew more about?
