Personnellement, je fais face &#224; chaque jour &#224; des obstacles divers qui pourraient facilement &#234;tre &#233;vit&#233;s si je n&#8217;avais pas &#224; garder constamment en t&#234;te mon r&#233;gime faible en prot&#233;ines. </p><p>Je suis tomb&#233; derni&#232;rement sur <a href="https://globalnews.ca/news/11707867/bc-man-cured-rare-disease-gene-editing-technology/">un article</a> qui m&#8217;a rappel&#233; qu&#8217;au-del&#224; de la ph&#233;nylc&#233;tonurie, il existe de nombreuses maladies rares qui ont autant d&#8217;impacts sur la vie des patients atteints (sinon davantage) que la ph&#233;nylc&#233;tonurie. Cet article parlait du cheminement de Ty Sperle, un jeune homme qui avait une maladie appel&#233;e la granulomatose chronique. </p><p>Mais un petit miracle technologique est venu changer son quotidien : le prime editing.</p><h3>La granulomatose chronique et le prime editing</h3><p>La maladie de Ty ajoutait une charge mentale similaire &#224; celle que nous avons avec la ph&#233;nylc&#233;tonurie. </p><p>Dans un corps sain, nos globules blancs capturent et d&#233;truisent les infections, bact&#233;ries ou champignons. Mais chez un patient atteint de granulomateuse chronique, les globules blancs n&#8217;ont pas de &#8220;munitions&#8221; pour d&#233;truire les intrus, le corps ne peut donc que l&#8217;isoler (&#231;a devient un granulome). La multiplication des granulomes peut alors obstruer les voies respiratoires, endommager la peau et m&#234;me affecter les organes internes. </p><p>C&#8217;est une condition qui g&#233;n&#232;re une vie en &#233;tat d&#8217;alerte, car il faut faire attention au moindre &#233;l&#233;ment banal: </p><ul><li><p>L&#8217;omnipr&#233;sence de petites bact&#233;ries ou moisissure est un danger.</p></li><li><p>Les m&#233;dicaments font partie du quotidien.</p></li><li><p>Il y a un sentiment de menace et d&#8217;ins&#233;curit&#233; permanent.</p></li></ul><p>Mais cette ann&#233;e, Ty Sperle est devenu la premi&#232;re personne au monde &#224; &#234;tre gu&#233;rie gr&#226;ce au prime editing! Il s&#8217;agit d&#8217;une m&#233;thode de correction de &#8220;l&#8217;ortographe&#8221; de l&#8217;ADN, ce qui fait dispara&#238;tre les sympt&#244;mes. Fini les m&#233;dicaments, tomb&#233;e la charge mentale. </p><blockquote><p>&#8220;J&#8217;aime aussi camper et vous savez, c&#8217;&#233;tait un risque avant, comme s&#8217;il y avait beaucoup de bact&#233;ries dans les bois&#8230; donc maintenant je peux le faire sans avoir ce risque. J&#8217;&#233;tais sous r&#233;gime de pilules et toutes ont disparu, donc je n&#8217;ai plus besoin de prendre de m&#233;dicaments, ce qui est tout simplement incroyable.&#8221;</p><p>&#8212; <strong>Ty Sperle</strong></p></blockquote><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://www.phenylcetonurie.ca/p/phenylcetonurie-et-charge-mentale?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email&utm_content=share&action=share&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Partager&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="https://www.phenylcetonurie.ca/p/phenylcetonurie-et-charge-mentale?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email&utm_content=share&action=share"><span>Partager</span></a></p><p>Selon Ty, sa m&#232;re n&#8217;&#233;tait pas dans la pi&#232;ce avec lui lorsqu&#8217;il a appris qu&#8217;il &#233;tait gu&#233;ri, mais quand il lui a dit, elle a r&#233;agit imm&#233;diatement avec des larmes de bonheurs. Je r&#233;fl&#233;chis &#224; cette histoire depuis plusieurs jours et je ne peux qu&#8217;imaginer le bonheur que les parents d&#8217;un enfant avec la ph&#233;nylc&#233;tonurie ressentirait si on leur apprenait qu&#8217;une technique d&#8217;&#233;dition g&#233;nique avait gu&#233;ri leur enfant. </p><p>Il faut rester tr&#232;s r&#233;alise, ce n&#8217;est pas demain la veille qu&#8217;une telle technologie pourra fonctionner avec la ph&#233;nylc&#233;tonurie. Il reste de nombreux d&#233;fis, de test et beaucoup de complexit&#233; future avant que cela puisse se concr&#233;tiser, mais c&#8217;est certainement tr&#232;s encourageant pour moi de constater que ce traitement ait finalement fonctionn&#233; chez un &#234;tre humain. :)</p><div class="subscription-widget-wrap-editor" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://www.phenylcetonurie.ca/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;S'abonner&quot;,&quot;language&quot;:&quot;fr&quot;}" data-component-name="SubscribeWidgetToDOM"><div class="subscription-widget show-subscribe"><div class="preamble"><p class="cta-caption">Carnet Ph&#233;nylc&#233;tonurie est une publication financ&#233;e par ses lecteurs.

Personally, I face various daily obstacles that could easily be avoided if I didn&#8217;t constantly have to keep my low-protein diet at the forefront of my mind.</p><p>I recently came across <a href="https://globalnews.ca/news/11707867/bc-man-cured-rare-disease-gene-editing-technology/">an article</a> that reminded me that beyond PKU, there are many rare diseases that have an impact on patients&#8217; lives (if not more) than PKU does. The article discussed the journey of Ty Sperle, a young man living with a condition called Chronic Granulomatous Disease.</p><p>But a small technological miracle has come to change his daily life: prime editing.</p><h3><strong>Chronic Granulomatous Disease and Prime Editing</strong></h3><p>Ty&#8217;s disease imposed a mental burden similar to what we experience with PKU.</p><p>In a healthy body, our white blood cells capture and destroy infections, bacteria, or fungi. But in a patient with Chronic Granulomatous Disease, the white blood cells lack the &#8220;ammunition&#8221; to destroy intruders; consequently, the body can only attempt to isolate them (forming what is known as a granuloma). The multiplication of these granulomas can then obstruct airways, damage the skin, and even affect internal organs.</p><p>It is a condition that forces one to live in a constant state of alert, as even the most mundane elements can become dangerous:</p><ul><li><p>The omnipresence of small bacteria or mold poses a threat.</p></li><li><p>Medications are a part of daily life.</p></li><li><p>There is a permanent sense of threat and insecurity.</p></li></ul><p>But this year, Ty Sperle became the first person in the world to be cured thanks to prime editing! This method acts as a way to correct &#8220;spelling mistakes&#8221; in DNA, causing symptoms to disappear. The medications are gone; the mental burden has lifted.</p><blockquote><p><em>&#8220;I also love camping and, you know, it was a risk before, because there are so many bacteria in the woods... so now I can do it without that risk. I was on a regimen of pills and they are all gone, so I no longer need to take medication, which is simply incredible.&#8221;</em><br>&#8212; <strong>Ty Sperle</strong></p></blockquote><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://www.phenylcetonurie.ca/p/phenylcetonurie-et-charge-mentale?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email&utm_content=share&action=share&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Partager&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="https://www.phenylcetonurie.ca/p/phenylcetonurie-et-charge-mentale?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email&utm_content=share&action=share"><span>Partager</span></a></p><p>According much to Ty, his mother was not in the room with him when he learned he was cured, but when he told her, she reacted immediately with tears of joy. I have been reflecting on this story for several days, and I can only imagine the happiness parents of a child with PKU would feel if they were told that a gene-editing technique had cured their child.</p><p>We must remain very realistic; such technology is not something that will be working for Phenylketonuria anytime soon. Many challenges, tests, and much future complexity remain before this can become a reality, but it is certainly very encouraging for me to see that this treatment has finally worked in a human being. :)</p><div class="subscription-widget-wrap-editor" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://www.phenylcetonurie.ca/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;S'abonner&quot;,&quot;language&quot;:&quot;fr&quot;}" data-component-name="SubscribeWidgetToDOM"><div class="subscription-widget show-subscribe"><div class="preamble"><p class="cta-caption">Phenylketonuria Notebook is a reader-supported publication.

since natural proteins contain phenylalanine, an amino acid their body cannot metabolize.</p></li><li><p>Starting the day with protein rather than carbohydrates stabilizes blood sugar, reduces insulin spikes and improves the glycemic response to subsequent meals (second meal effect). This is particularly important for adults with PKU, who are at increased risk of insulin resistance due to a diet that is naturally too high in carbohydrates.</p></li><li><p>A morning amino acid formula shake (like this chocolate and caramel shake with 50g of protein equivalent) is a concrete strategy for building a solid nutritional foundation from the very start of the day.</p></li></ul><div class="pullquote"><h6>Disclaimer: The information presented here reflects my personal experience with phenylketonuria and my own research. It is not a substitute for professional medical advice. Always consult a healthcare professional before making any changes to your diet or beginning an exercise program.</h6></div><p>Every morning, it&#8217;s the same thing. Before coffee, before emails, before anything else, I prepare my amino acid formula for phenylketonuria. 50 grams of protein equivalent, low in carbohydrates. It&#8217;s my foundation. It&#8217;s what keeps me going.</p><p>If you live with phenylketonuria, you know our diet is naturally unbalanced: too many carbohydrates, not enough natural protein. It&#8217;s documented. Studies show that adults with PKU consume excessive amounts of carbohydrates and develop problematic nutritional profiles as they age. The risk of insulin resistance is real, and it&#8217;s directly linked to that carbohydrate overload in our diet.</p><div class="subscription-widget-wrap-editor" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://www.phenylcetonurie.ca/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;S'abonner&quot;,&quot;language&quot;:&quot;fr&quot;}" data-component-name="SubscribeWidgetToDOM"><div class="subscription-widget show-subscribe"><div class="preamble"><p class="cta-caption">Phenylketonuria Notebook is a reader-supported publication.

A protein-rich breakfast stabilizes blood sugar, reduces insulin spikes and even improves the glycemic response to your next meal. Researchers call it the &#8220;second meal effect&#8221;: what you eat in the morning directly influences how your body reacts at lunch. And the opposite is also true. A breakfast high in refined carbohydrates causes a rapid blood sugar spike, followed by a crash that brings hunger, irritability and the urge to snack.</p><p>For someone with PKU, this is even more critical. We can&#8217;t get our protein from eggs or Greek yogurt like everyone else. Our amino acid formulas are our main source. So if I don&#8217;t start my day with that, I&#8217;m already starting at a deficit. And a protein deficit in the morning, combined with our dependence on starchy foods, is exactly the recipe for the long-term metabolic problems we&#8217;re trying to avoid.</p><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://www.phenylcetonurie.ca/p/pourquoi-je-commence-chaque-journee?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email&utm_content=share&action=share&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Partager&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="https://www.phenylcetonurie.ca/p/pourquoi-je-commence-chaque-journee?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email&utm_content=share&action=share"><span>Partager</span></a></p><p>So yes, my morning shake is non-negotiable.

This is an early-stage, exploratory study conducted in adults living with PKU.</p><p>This kind of news does not change everyday life overnight.

We are a long way from approval or even a short-term therapeutic promise. This is a first step, taken very early in the process. In fact, according to the press release, the recruitment process has not yet begun, and there will be other bureaucratic hurdles to overcome before the trials can begin.</p><p>What catches my attention is not so much the product itself as the fact that a company continues to invest time, resources, and expertise in PCD. For a rare disease, this is never insignificant.</p><h3>The Canadian context in the background</h3><p>While this new project is taking shape elsewhere, we in Canada are still waiting for provincial approval and equitable access to <strong><a href="https://open.substack.com/pub/pcublogue/p/dernieres-nouvelles-au-sujet-du-sepiapterin?utm_campaign=post-expanded-share&amp;utm_medium=web">Sephience</a></strong>. This disconnect can be difficult to deal with: on the one hand, science is advancing; on the other, actual access to treatment remains fragmented.</p><p>In this context, receiving news like this creates mixed feelings.

Cette m&#233;thode est bien &#233;tablie, mais elle comporte des contraintes bien connues : d&#233;lais, rejets d&#8217;&#233;chantillons, attente avant d&#8217;obtenir un r&#233;sultat utilisable.</p><p>L&#8217;objectif de l&#8217;&#233;tude &#233;tait de comparer les r&#233;sultats obtenus avec le syst&#232;me Egoo Phe &#224; ceux issus de cette m&#233;thode standard, dans des conditions proches de la r&#233;alit&#233; quotidienne, incluant une utilisation &#224; domicile par les familles.</p><p>Les chercheurs ont analys&#233; des &#233;chantillons pr&#233;lev&#233;s simultan&#233;ment, afin de limiter les biais li&#233;s aux variations naturelles du taux de ph&#233;nylalanine.</p><h2>Ce que montrent les r&#233;sultats</h2><p>Les donn&#233;es publi&#233;es indiquent une forte corr&#233;lation entre les deux m&#233;thodes de mesure. Les valeurs obtenues avec Egoo Phe sont en moyenne l&#233;g&#232;rement plus &#233;lev&#233;es que celles issues des pr&#233;l&#232;vements sur papier buvard, avec un &#233;cart d&#8217;environ 4,6 %.

In the context of phenylketonuria, this question is crucial. Monitoring phenylalanine levels directly influences dietary decisions, sometimes on a daily basis.</p><p>I have been using this device myself for some time now and <a href="https://www.phenylcetonurie.ca/p/egoo-phe-a-device-to-monitor-your?r=47am9s&amp;utm_campaign=post&amp;utm_medium=web">have already demonstrated how it works</a> in a very practical way at home. Until now, my focus has been mainly on practical experience. Today, a recent study provides solid data that allows us to go further.</p><p>This study is also presented in a video in which researchers explain the final results, the clinical context, and the limitations observed. Together, the video and the scientific article provide a precise answer to the question I am most often asked: that of reliability.</p><div class="subscription-widget-wrap-editor" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://www.phenylcetonurie.ca/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;S'abonner&quot;,&quot;language&quot;:&quot;fr&quot;}" data-component-name="SubscribeWidgetToDOM"><div class="subscription-widget show-subscribe"><div class="preamble"><p class="cta-caption">Phenylketonuria Notebook is a reader-supported publication.

This method is well established, but it has well-known limitations: delays, sample rejections, and waiting times before obtaining usable results.</p><p>The aim of the study was to compare the results obtained with the Egoo Phe system with those obtained using this standard method, under conditions close to everyday reality, including home use by families.</p><p>The researchers analyzed samples taken simultaneously in order to limit bias related to natural variations in phenylalanine levels.</p><h3>What the results show</h3><p>The published data indicate a strong correlation between the two measurement methods. The values obtained with Egoo Phe are on average slightly higher than those obtained from blotters, with a difference of approximately 4.6%. This difference remains within a range considered clinically acceptable.</p><p>The results are consistent across all value ranges, for both lower and higher levels. Statistical analyses confirm this consistency, providing a nuanced but reassuring answer to the question of accuracy.</p><p>The study also highlights an interesting point: the quality of the results improves with experience of use. In other words, as families become more familiar with the device, the discrepancies decrease.</p><h3>The families&#8217; experience</h3><p>Beyond the figures, the study also looked at the actual use of the device. Most of the samples were taken at home, in a context comparable to everyday life.</p><p>At the end of the protocol, all participants expressed a preference for this type of home test, particularly because of the speed of obtaining results and the reduction in waiting-related stress.</p><p>One element came up frequently in the comments:</p><ul><li><p>the ability to obtain results in less than 30 minutes profoundly changes the relationship with monitoring, allowing for faster adjustments that are better synchronized with everyday reality.</p></li></ul><h3>An important step forward, with a limitation</h3><p>Although these results are very encouraging, it is important to remain cautious. The number of participants in the study remains limited, which is common in the early stages of evaluating a new technology.</p><p>This does not call into question the relevance of the data, but it does serve as a reminder that the use of a tool such as Egoo Phe must always be part of structured medical monitoring. Results obtained at home do not replace clinical support, but they can support more responsive and better-informed decision-making.</p><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://www.phenylcetonurie.ca/p/egoo-phe-de-nouvelles-donnees-qui?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email&utm_content=share&action=share&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Partager&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="https://www.phenylcetonurie.ca/p/egoo-phe-de-nouvelles-donnees-qui?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email&utm_content=share&action=share"><span>Partager</span></a></p><p>This study marks an important step forward in the evolution of phenylalanine monitoring.

Les repas sont plus longs, plus riches et souvent impr&#233;vus. Il faut donc accepter une r&#233;alit&#233; de base : on ne peut pas fonctionner &#224; l&#8217;improviste comme tout le monde.</p><p>&#199;a demande de la volont&#233;, oui. Mais surtout, &#231;a demande de penser &#224; l&#8217;avance et de se donner les bons outils. Se pr&#233;parer, ce n&#8217;est pas se limiter. C&#8217;est se permettre de participer pleinement.</p><h3>Impliquer la famille pour vrai</h3><p>Un &#233;l&#233;ment cl&#233;, et souvent sous-estim&#233;, c&#8217;est l&#8217;implication de la famille.</p><p>Ils doivent &#234;tre au courant, mais surtout participer :</p><ul><li><p>comprendre pourquoi certains aliments ne sont pas possibles</p></li><li><p>accepter d&#8217;adapter certaines recettes</p></li><li><p>pr&#233;voir une option PCU en m&#234;me temps que le reste du repas</p></li></ul><p>Quand la famille embarque, la pression tombe d&#8217;un cran. On se sent inclus et &#231;a change compl&#232;tement l&#8217;exp&#233;rience du repas. Le temps des f&#234;tes est un moment collectif. La PCU aussi.</p><h3>La nourriture PCU qui se conserve mal&#8230; et ce qui fonctionne mieux</h3><p>Personnellement, je ne suis pas du genre &#224; conserver longtemps la nourriture PCU. Beaucoup d&#8217;aliments faibles en prot&#233;ines sont meilleurs quand ils sont fra&#238;chement cuisin&#233;s. La texture et le go&#251;t ne suivent pas toujours apr&#232;s quelques jours.</p><p>Par contre, il y a une excellente alternative : les recettes &#224; base d&#8217;aliments naturellement faibles en prot&#233;ines.</p><p>Les l&#233;gumes, les fruits, les accompagnements simples et les sauces adapt&#233;es se conservent beaucoup mieux et gardent leur qualit&#233;. Ce sont souvent ces plats-l&#224; qui permettent de pr&#233;parer une partie du repas &#224; l&#8217;avance sans compromettre le plaisir.</p><h3>Pr&#233;voir du temps de cuisine le jour de la f&#234;te</h3><p>&#201;videmment, toutes ces contraintes vont n&#233;cessiter une grande planification. Un des meilleurs trucs pour vivre le temps des f&#234;tes plus sereinement avec la PCU, c&#8217;est de pr&#233;voir du temps pour cuisiner le jour m&#234;me. Cuisiner le jour de la f&#234;te permet d&#8217;avoir des plats frais, d&#8217;adapter les recettes au menu final et de r&#233;ellement avoir envie de manger ce qu&#8217;on a devant soi.</p><p>Oui, &#231;a demande un effort, mais &#231;a enl&#232;ve beaucoup de stress une fois &#224; table.</p><h3>Miser sur les formules d&#8217;acides amin&#233;s au bon moment</h3><p>Un autre truc qui peut faire une grosse diff&#233;rence pendant les repas de f&#234;te, c&#8217;est le moment o&#249; l&#8217;on consomme sa formule d&#8217;acides amin&#233;s.</p><p>Prendre sa formule un peu avant le repas, par exemple 15 &#224; 30 minutes avant de passer &#224; table, peut aider &#224; augmenter le sentiment de sati&#233;t&#233;. &#199;a r&#233;duit la faim intense quand tout arrive en m&#234;me temps et &#231;a aide &#224; &#233;viter de se jeter sur la nourriture sans r&#233;fl&#233;chir.</p><p>Sur le plan physiologique, &#231;a fait du sens. Les &#233;quivalents de prot&#233;ines jouent un r&#244;le important dans la sati&#233;t&#233; et la r&#233;gulation de l&#8217;app&#233;tit. Dans mon cas, &#231;a m&#8217;aide clairement &#224; arriver au repas plus calme et moins affam&#233;.</p><p>Certaines formules pr&#234;tes &#224; boire sont particuli&#232;rement pratiques pendant le temps des f&#234;tes. Le Phenylade GMP Ready de Nutricia M&#233;tabolique, par exemple, fournit 10 g d&#8217;&#233;quivalents en prot&#233;ines de formules par portion. C&#8217;est rapide, facile &#224; int&#233;grer &#224; l&#8217;horaire et tr&#232;s utile juste avant un repas plus copieux.</p><p>L&#8217;objectif n&#8217;est pas de remplacer le repas, mais de se donner une longueur d&#8217;avance pour mieux g&#233;rer les tentations.</p><h3>La comp&#233;tence la plus pr&#233;cieuse &#224; transmettre</h3><p>Finalement, S&#8217;il y a une chose que notre famille peut nous offrir, surtout quand on vit avec la PCU, c&#8217;est d&#8217;apprendre &#224; cuisiner. Savoir adapter un plat en version faible en prot&#233;ines, comprendre les ingr&#233;dients et modifier une recette selon nos besoins, c&#8217;est une comp&#233;tence essentielle. C&#8217;est aussi une source d&#8217;autonomie et de confiance &#233;norme.</p><p>Cuisiner, ce n&#8217;est pas seulement se nourrir. C&#8217;est reprendre du contr&#244;le et transformer des contraintes en solutions. Comme je l&#8217;ai mentionn&#233; souvent, c&#8217;est probablement le plus beau cadeau qu&#8217;on peut recevoir pour la vie.</p><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://www.phenylcetonurie.ca/p/temps-des-fetes-et-phenylcetonurie?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email&utm_content=share&action=share&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Partager&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="https://www.phenylcetonurie.ca/p/temps-des-fetes-et-phenylcetonurie?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email&utm_content=share&action=share"><span>Partager</span></a></p><p>Le temps des f&#234;tes avec la ph&#233;nylc&#233;tonurie demande un peu plus de pr&#233;paration que pour la plupart des gens.

Everything looks delicious. The tables are laden with food. The smells make you hungry. And while many people improvise, we have to think carefully about every bite we take.</p><p>It&#8217;s not a question of depriving yourself, but of being prepared. With a little organization and a lot of cooperation, it&#8217;s entirely possible to enjoy the moment without compromising your health.</p><div class="subscription-widget-wrap-editor" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://www.phenylcetonurie.ca/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;S'abonner&quot;,&quot;language&quot;:&quot;fr&quot;}" data-component-name="SubscribeWidgetToDOM"><div class="subscription-widget show-subscribe"><div class="preamble"><p class="cta-caption">Phenylketonuria Notebook is a reader-supported publication.

Meals are longer, richer, and often unexpected. So you have to accept a basic reality: you can&#8217;t function on the fly like everyone else.</p><p>It takes willpower, yes. But above all, it takes thinking ahead and giving yourself the right tools. Preparing doesn&#8217;t mean limiting yourself. It means allowing yourself to participate fully.</p><h3>Get your family involved</h3><p>A key element that is often underestimated is family involvement. They need to be aware, but above all, they need to participate:</p><ul><li><p>understand why certain foods are not possible</p></li><li><p>agree to adapt certain recipes</p></li><li><p>plan a PKU option along with the rest of the meal</p></li></ul><p>When the family gets on board, the pressure eases up a notch. You feel included, and it completely changes the dining experience. The holidays are a time for togetherness. So is PKU.</p><h3>PKU foods that don&#8217;t keep well... and what works best</h3><p>Personally, I&#8217;m not one to keep PKU foods for long. Many low-protein foods taste better when freshly cooked. The texture and taste aren&#8217;t always the same after a few days.</p><p>However, there is an excellent alternative: recipes based on naturally low-protein foods.</p><p>Vegetables, fruits, simple side dishes, and adapted sauces keep much better and retain their quality. These are often the dishes that allow you to prepare part of the meal in advance without compromising on enjoyment.</p><h3>Allow time for cooking on the day of the celebration</h3><p>Obviously, all these constraints will require a lot of planning. One of the best tips for enjoying the holidays more peacefully with PKU is to allow time for cooking on the day itself. Cooking on the day of the celebration allows you to have fresh dishes, adapt recipes to the final menu, and really want to eat what&#8217;s in front of you.</p><p>Yes, it takes effort, but it takes a lot of stress off once you&#8217;re at the table.</p><h3>Take your amino acid formula at the right time</h3><p>Another tip that can make a big difference during holiday meals is when you take your amino acid formula.</p><p>Taking your supplement shortly before a meal, for example 15 to 30 minutes before sitting down to eat, can help increase feelings of fullness. This reduces intense hunger when everything arrives at once and helps prevent you from mindlessly devouring your food.</p><p>Physiologically, this makes sense. Protein equivalents play an important role in satiety and appetite regulation. In my case, it definitely helps me arrive at the meal calmer and less hungry.</p><p>Some ready-to-drink formulas are particularly convenient during the holiday season. Nutricia Metabolics&#8217; Phenylade GMP Ready, for example, provides 10g of formula protein equivalents per serving. It&#8217;s quick, easy to fit into your schedule, and very useful just before a larger meal.</p><p>The goal is not to replace the meal, but to give yourself a head start in managing temptations.</p><h3>The most valuable skill to pass on</h3><p>Finally, if there&#8217;s one thing our family can offer us, especially when living with PKU, it&#8217;s learning how to cook. Knowing how to adapt a dish to a low-protein version, understanding the ingredients, and modifying a recipe to suit our needs is an essential skill. It&#8217;s also a source of enormous independence and confidence.</p><p>Cooking is not just about feeding yourself. It&#8217;s about regaining control and turning constraints into solutions. As I&#8217;ve often said, it&#8217;s probably the greatest gift you can receive in life.</p><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://www.phenylcetonurie.ca/p/temps-des-fetes-et-phenylcetonurie?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email&utm_content=share&action=share&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Partager&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="https://www.phenylcetonurie.ca/p/temps-des-fetes-et-phenylcetonurie?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email&utm_content=share&action=share"><span>Partager</span></a></p><p>The holiday season with phenylketonuria requires a little more preparation than for most people. But with organization, an involved family, well-chosen recipes, strategic use of formulas, and time in the kitchen, it becomes much easier to live with.</p><p>We&#8217;re not looking for perfection. We&#8217;re looking to enjoy the moment, in our own way.</p><p>And finally, the global health bonus: don&#8217;t forget to incorporate physical activity and a little exercise before and after meals rich in carbohydrates to properly manage the extra energy you&#8217;re going to consume! &#128513; Your body will thank you!</p><p class="button-wrapper"

Coincidentally Tristan here was calling for a testimonial about challenges of phenylketonuria and how Sephience would improve that.  Well I guess I would seize this opportunity and share my thoughts on this. As I have quite a bit to say and even more on my mind. You see I belong to the &#8220;dinosaur generation&#8221;. With well over 40 years of experience tackling PKU day to day. So, grab a cup of coffee, or tea, or formula and take some time to listen to what this dinosaur has to say.</em></p><p><em> I live with strong belief in the power of scientific progress, while I am a classic PKUer so nothing other that classical diet helps me personally. Is there a hope for the bright future? A dream of a magic pill that will one day come and cure it all like a Disney fairy? No. Over the years I have become progressively pessimistic about my own PKU outlook, and it happily co-exists with belief that scientific progress brings us hope and opens new horizons.</em></p><p><em>You see, I have learned that progress takes time. Great discoveries happen in university and clinic labs. There are scientists who really do care about odd little kids with musty odour and odd delays in development. However, there is a time gap. For example from first talks in the North American PKU community about GMP as a brand new formula for PKU to actually having that formula available to taste at the clinic a decade has elapsed.  Virgina Schuett wrote about it in the 90s. We did not get to taste it until early 2000s.</em></p><p><em>Lately several of dedicated pharma companies decided to tackle the issue of lowering blood phenylalanine levels.  Some trials were stopped, some failed, some succeeded. The first breakthrough was Kuvan &#8211; a tablet form medication hat helped some PKUers to activate the enzyme. Some but not all. Some were able to liberalize their diets to almost normal range, while others are still on very restrictive diet plus formula plus kuvan. For me this treatment did not work.</em></p><p><em>Then came along the <a href="https://www.phenylcetonurie.ca/p/la-situation-du-palynziq-au-quebec">Palinzyq</a>. An injectable treatment. For many it has become that magic bullet &#8211; you eat want you want, take a shot, you&#8217;re good to go. For some it was the solution to all the problems. For me &#8211; I was concerned about the numerous nasty side effects that happened to pretty much everyone who took this medication.  Unlike GMP this medication was approved quickly, but by this time I have spent enough time working in scientific research that I made a decision for myself. In the end I have refused this treatment option because while these wonderful discoveries were made and became available I have managed my diet (I never went off it), got married and gave birth to healthy children. All this to prove that I am capable of handling my diet. You see, we, the dinosaurs, we were trained from childhood to see PKU as a lifestyle not a diet. And to switch from just limiting food intake and drinking finally good tasting formula to doing injections 3-4 times per day &#8211; that would make me personally feel as if I am turning from a normal me to a very sick me that needs a lot of daily medication.</em></p><p><em>Now comes <a href="https://www.phenylcetonurie.ca/p/vous-voulez-avoir-acces-au-traitement?r=47am9s&amp;utm_campaign=post&amp;utm_medium=web&amp;showWelcomeOnShare=false">Sephience</a>. I have read about it. As much as any other PKUer with a glimpse of hope deep inside that perhaps this is finally my magic bullet, I contemplate how it will complicate my life? Would it work for me &#8211; a classic PKUer? Would OHIP or insurance cover it? Would I get tired of taste of apple juice taken very day 3 times a day for the rest of my life?  Would I be able to handle this medication while travelling (while formula only needs clean potable water, available anywhere I understand things are more complicated with Sephience). Would postal strikes or tariffs or some emergency at the manufacturing plant affect the supply of this medication? I have lived through all of these events and I must say I do not wish to be stuck in such situation again where I have no alternative to my medication available when supply runs dry.</em></p><p><em>In the past I was quite optimistic and enthusiastic about trying new things in PKU world. I hated the taste of my formula and GMP formula changed my world. Now as I grow older, I am more careful weighing in all the pros and cons and possible benefits and disadvantages to rocking my current boat.</em></p><p><em>I do still look with hope into the future and keep an eye on the advance of the scientific progress but I am more and more cautious and sadly pessimistic as to what my choices are in reality. Time goes by quickly and I feel that I have less and less time for futuristic optimism, waiting for the magic to happen, and should perhaps just stick with what is currently working for me (and has been for over the past four decades) and just be happy with what I have?</em></p><div><hr></div><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://www.phenylcetonurie.ca/p/a-pku-story-phenylketonuria-treatment?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email&utm_content=share&action=share&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Partager&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="https://www.phenylcetonurie.ca/p/a-pku-story-phenylketonuria-treatment?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email&utm_content=share&action=share"><span>Partager</span></a></p><h3><strong>Let&#8217;s make our voices heard loud and clear</strong></h3><p>Even when treated with a low-protein diet, phenylketonuria remains a daily challenge: it affects every meal, every decision, every moment of freedom.

Par co&#239;ncidence, Tristan a fait un appel pour me demander de t&#233;moigner sur les d&#233;fis li&#233;s &#224; la ph&#233;nylc&#233;tonurie et sur la mani&#232;re dont Sephience pourrait am&#233;liorer la situation. Je pense que je vais saisir cette occasion pour partager mes r&#233;flexions &#224; ce sujet. J&#8217;ai beaucoup &#224; dire et encore plus en t&#234;te. Vous voyez, j&#8217;appartiens &#224; la &#171; g&#233;n&#233;ration des dinosaures &#187;. J&#8217;ai plus de 40 ans d&#8217;exp&#233;rience dans la gestion quotidienne de la ph&#233;nylc&#233;tonurie. Alors, prenez une tasse de caf&#233;, de th&#233; ou de formule d&#8217;acides amin&#233;s et prenez le temps d&#8217;&#233;couter ce que ce dinosaure a &#224; dire.</em></p><p><em>Je vis avec une forte conviction dans le pouvoir du progr&#232;s scientifique, mais je suis un cas classique de PCU et rien d&#8217;autre qu&#8217;un r&#233;gime classique ne m&#8217;aide personnellement. Y a-t-il un espoir pour un avenir radieux? Le r&#234;ve d&#8217;une pilule magique qui viendra un jour tout gu&#233;rir, comme une f&#233;e Disney? Non. Au fil des ans, je suis devenu de plus en plus pessimiste quant &#224; mes propres perspectives en mati&#232;re de PCU, mais cela coexiste heureusement avec la conviction que le progr&#232;s scientifique nous apporte de l&#8217;espoir et ouvre de nouveaux horizons.</em></p><p><em>Vous voyez, j&#8217;ai appris que le progr&#232;s prend du temps. Les grandes d&#233;couvertes se font dans les laboratoires universitaires et cliniques. Il y a des scientifiques qui se soucient vraiment des petits enfants bizarres qui sentent le moisi et qui ont des retards de d&#233;veloppement &#233;tranges. Cependant, il y a un d&#233;calage dans le temps. Par exemple, entre les premi&#232;res discussions au sein de la communaut&#233; nord-am&#233;ricaine des personnes atteintes de PCU au sujet du GMP comme nouvelle formule pour la PCU et le moment o&#249; cette formule a &#233;t&#233; disponible &#224; la clinique, une d&#233;cennie s&#8217;est &#233;coul&#233;e. Virgina Schuett a &#233;crit &#224; ce sujet dans les ann&#233;es 90. Nous n&#8217;avons pu la go&#251;ter qu&#8217;au d&#233;but des ann&#233;es 2000.</em></p><p><em>R&#233;cemment, plusieurs soci&#233;t&#233;s pharmaceutiques d&#233;vou&#233;es ont d&#233;cid&#233; de s&#8217;attaquer au probl&#232;me de la r&#233;duction des taux de ph&#233;nylalanine dans le sang. Certains essais ont &#233;t&#233; interrompus, certains ont &#233;chou&#233;, d&#8217;autres ont r&#233;ussi. La premi&#232;re perc&#233;e a &#233;t&#233; le Kuvan, un m&#233;dicament sous forme de comprim&#233;s qui a aid&#233; certains personnes atteintes de PCU &#224; activer l&#8217;enzyme. Certains, mais pas tous. Certains ont pu assouplir leur r&#233;gime alimentaire jusqu&#8217;&#224; atteindre un niveau presque normal, tandis que d&#8217;autres suivent toujours un r&#233;gime tr&#232;s restrictif, compl&#233;t&#233; par des pr&#233;parations et du Kuvan. Pour moi, ce traitement n&#8217;a pas fonctionn&#233;.</em></p><p><em>Puis est arriv&#233; le <a href="https://www.phenylcetonurie.ca/p/la-situation-du-palynziq-au-quebec">Palinzyq</a>, un traitement injectable. Pour beaucoup, il est devenu la solution miracle : vous mangez ce que vous voulez, vous faites une injection, et le tour est jou&#233;. Pour certains, c&#8217;&#233;tait la solution &#224; tous leurs probl&#232;mes. Pour ma part, j&#8217;&#233;tais pr&#233;occup&#233;e par les nombreux effets secondaires d&#233;sagr&#233;ables qui touchaient pratiquement toutes les personnes qui prenaient ce m&#233;dicament. Contrairement au GMP, ce m&#233;dicament a &#233;t&#233; approuv&#233; rapidement, mais &#224; ce moment-l&#224;, j&#8217;avais pass&#233; suffisamment de temps dans la recherche scientifique pour prendre ma propre d&#233;cision. Finalement, j&#8217;ai refus&#233; cette option de traitement, car m&#234;me si ces merveilleuses d&#233;couvertes ont &#233;t&#233; faites et sont devenues disponibles, j&#8217;ai r&#233;ussi &#224; g&#233;rer mon r&#233;gime alimentaire (je ne m&#8217;en suis jamais &#233;cart&#233;e), je me suis mari&#233;e et j&#8217;ai donn&#233; naissance &#224; des enfants en bonne sant&#233;. Tout cela pour prouver que je suis capable de g&#233;rer mon r&#233;gime alimentaire. Vous voyez, nous, les dinosaures, avons &#233;t&#233; form&#233;s d&#232;s l&#8217;enfance &#224; consid&#233;rer la PCU comme un mode de vie et non comme un r&#233;gime alimentaire. Et passer d&#8217;une simple limitation de l&#8217;apport alimentaire et de la consommation d&#8217;une formule enfin bonne au go&#251;t &#224; des injections 3 &#224; 4 fois par jour me donnerait personnellement l&#8217;impression de passer d&#8217;une vie normale &#224; une vie de grande malade n&#233;cessitant beaucoup de m&#233;dicaments quotidiens.</em></p><p><em>Et maintenant, il y a<a href="https://www.phenylcetonurie.ca/p/sephience-nouveau-traitement-pour?r=47am9s&amp;utm_campaign=post&amp;utm_medium=web&amp;showWelcomeOnShare=false"> Sephience</a>.

Comme tous les autres personnes atteintes de PCU qui ont au fond d&#8217;elles l&#8217;espoir que ce soit enfin le rem&#232;de miracle, je me demande comment cela va compliquer ma vie. Est-ce que cela fonctionnera pour moi, une personne atteinte de PCU classique? Est-ce que l&#8217;assurance maladie ou mon assurance le couvrira? Est-ce que je vais me lasser du go&#251;t du jus de pomme trois fois par jour pour le reste de ma vie? Serais-je capable de g&#233;rer ce m&#233;dicament pendant mes voyages (alors que la formule ne n&#233;cessite que de l&#8217;eau potable, disponible partout, je comprends que les choses sont plus compliqu&#233;es avec Sephience)? Les gr&#232;ves postales, les droits de douane ou une urgence dans l&#8217;usine de fabrication pourraient-ils affecter l&#8217;approvisionnement de ce m&#233;dicament?
