Family Guide for those diagnosed with Homocystinuria (HCU)

Description:
Your child has been diagnosed with a condition called homocystinuria (ho-mo-sis-tin-u-re-ah), or HCU for short. Children who have inherited this condition can’t use the amino acid methionine (me-thi-o-neen) (MET) in a normal way. MET is found in all foods that contain protein. You will need to feed your child all the foods necessary for normal growth and development but only the amounts of MET he can safely use. Learning some medical terms in nutrition and genetics will help you understand and manage your child’s diet better. If you have any questions, write them down and ask the nutritionist (dietitian), nurse or doctor at the metabolic clinic.
