Phenylalanine sensitivity?!
Question: Phenylalanine sensitivity!?
For several years now, I have been having an issue with food, soda, gum, etc!. that warns it contains phenylalanine!. Even if I don't see the warning, I can tell shortly after consuming that it was in there!. Its hard to explain how it makes me feel - other than like a pecullar death warmed over!. Just one stick of gum will have big effect on me!. Obvously I'm not a phenylketonuric, but could I be experiencing a sensitivity or allergy to it!?!Www@Answer-Health@Com

It could be a sensitivity to nutrasweet itself, because a lot of foods that have phenylalanine don't have those labels!. Nutrasweet gives a lot of people headaches!. Maybe look up what foods have phenylalanine but not nutrasweet and see if they cause the same feeling!. My bet is it's nutrasweet, it's not nearly as harmless as people would like to think!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Phenylalanine is one of the 8 essential amino acids that makes up complete protein that you get in all animal protein so complete protein is fine but consuming phenylalanine in isolation is dangerous if you consume a lot of it as large doses of phenylalanine could cause an overdose and this can do irreversible brain damage!.
Perhaps you should steer clear of food, soda, gum, etc that contains a phenylalanine warning!. To overdose on phenylalanine you would probably need to take an excess of a phenylalanine supplement!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
