Families across the nation are continuing to struggle to find baby formula, but the problem is also affecting those who use a formula for dietary needs.
Many facing rare metabolic diseases turn to formula not only as nutrients, but also for medical treatment. People with metabolic disorders are on limited diets because they are unable to break down one of the amino acids in proteins.
This leads them to formula as a solution, but with empty shelves, concerns are amplified for parents. Phenylketonuria , also called PKU, is a rare inherited disorder that causes an amino acid called phenylalanine to build up in the body. PKU is caused by a change in the phenylalanine hydroxylase gene. This gene helps create the enzyme needed to break down phenylalanine. - Mayo Clinic
“When they begin to break down their own muscle, they are releasing all of the amino acids including an amino acid that they can’t metabolize. In addition to not having their supplemental vitamins, minerals and other amino acids from their formula, they’re also getting more of the offending amino acid from their own body,” said Jennifer Beazer, PKU News metabolic dietitian.
