What is Not Included in a Low Phenylalanine Food Pattern?
Foods that contain large amounts of phe must be eliminated from a low phe diet. These foods are high protein foods, such as milk, dairy products, meat, fish, chicken, eggs, beans, and nuts. These foods cause high blood phe levels for people with PKU.

So yes, meat will make you sick. It's funny ot me that they make you eat only healthy foods for this diet. Fruits,vegetables, starchy vegetables, and grains. But then they give you that other junk, because that diet is supposedly "deficient."
It's funny because that's the stuff i eat everyday, and lots of other people do too. It is the basis of a Low-fat vegan diet.
Take a Look at drmcdougall.com for more information on this diet. It is by no means deficient! There should be no need for any supplemental, processed additive.
Check out this diet someone on the board put together. It surpasses all RDA's for all nutrients except for B12 (unless of course you pull you organic produce directly out of the ground, and don't wash it very well
)

All of that is on your diet. And it sounds really good to me. Loosely based on an Okinawan diet.
Edit - This is not medical advice and you would have to check on the nuts and beans with a doctor. And you really shouldn't be taking any advice from a discussion board, without running it by a doctor first.
