PKU continued

should rHey, today i thought id share a story, but first i'll explain at more detail then the last post,
because it is not only anything that comes from an animal i'm not aloud,
i am also not aloud geltian or aspartme,
geltian is animal used in most sweets, eg haribo to make them jelly
aspartme is seen in neally all diet fizzy drinks and some others such as fanta

what is in aspartme is the main thing i cannoy have which is the amino acid phenylalanine,
which every fortnight i need to take a blood test to see how much is in me,
it has to be between 200-700 to be healthy, anything below that i'm not having enough to eat
anything above that i'm having too much(this comes into the story later)

Oh, if i go off my diet and do not control anything,
i will get more serious brain damage, that will slowly make me more "stupid"
untill i cant walk, talk or move, this will happen over a long period of time but it will happen,
if i do not stick to my diet.

if there is anything more i can think of i'll put it in here :)
