It also doesn't help that the medicine is very expensive. The Kuvan is around $9,000 a month ( keeps your diet from being as limited, but not everyone can take it) the other is around $4,000-$6,000 and without it you will be malnourished.

I personally can only have 12 grams of protein per day. To give you an idea of how hard that is, there is 2-4 grams of protein in one slice of bread.
