@soheb Thank you, and thank you for the post yesterday :) I did see it and missed doing my own!
Yeah, it is difficult as I worry most about access. A few years back it became clear that the UK wouldn't get the injection.
Now that the UK isn't in the EU, Sepheince isn't a guarantee - particularly for adults.
Re the kidney drugs, None of the UK trials discussed were looking at adults!
I think we and the NSPKU have to gear up for campaigning again as access is going to be a key issue!

@poconnor has wrote a new newsletter about what she came away with at the NSPKU. It's exciting stuff!
A great NSPKU conference in Cardiff yesterday. Lovely to see so many new faces, a reminder to head out beyond the usual places.
Lots of updates, new products and research coming. Just organising my thoughts and will report in the blog soon!

Earlier this summer I had a great conversation with Tom and Jasmine for this new
podcast by the NSPKU.
It was full of tips for:
- dealing with GPs
- packing for PKU,
- managing protein while travelling
and just talking about how we manage our PKU "Home & Away"
Would like to know what you think of it!

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.
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: https://prominpku.com/product/echigo-low-protein-pre-cooked-rice/
