PKU and aspartame in Yoplait Yogurt From: anonymous@obgyn.net Tue, 24 Jul 2001 02:50:18 EDT Messages sorted by: [ date ][ thread ][ subject ][ author ] Next message: anonymous@obgyn.net: "Ingredients of this Yogurt: Is it safe during pregnancy?"

I am curious about something and was hoping someone could share some insight about PKU and aspartame. I have been put on a diet for one week because of gestational diabetes, then if my levels return to a normal range, I won't have to be put on insulin. (The same thing happened during my first pregnancy in 1998 and the diet worked. I have a healthy and happy 2 1/2 old son) However, when I bought my Yogurt (Yoplait "Light") I noticed that it mentioned it contained Phenylalanine. I remebered something in my book "What To Expect When You're Expecting" about people with a condition called PKU "Phenylketonurics", and if not controled can cause problems in pregnancy, etc... I guess my question to you is: 1. If I had this condition called PKU, would I already know? Can I be a carrier and not know it? Is it too late to find out? What are the symptoms? 2. Throughout my pregnancy I have had the regular Yoplait once a day sometimes, and don't even remember if it had aspartame in it. (the "light"kind does) Did I do anything wrong by consuming the Yogurt if it had aspartame in it? I'd appreciate your thoughts on this subject. Thanks for always being there for me!
