Any Alternate Medicine For Phenylalanine?
Yes, I told my Doctor that I was Allergic to Phenylaline, or the fake sugers that put Phenyl in there products.
I was tested by a specialist so I know that I am. Also whenever I drink a Diet Soda with Phenylaline in it My throat swells up and I have difficulty breathing just from one sip. Well, it seems he is not listening or does not believe me. Because, my doctor prescribed Phendimetrazine 35 mg. which is a derivative of the Phenyl products. I do not want to end up in a Hospital. What other medicine can he prescribe instead which is safer for me?

1. Since you are a diagnosed allergic/hypersensitivity case for Phenylalanine thus following points are worth mentioning:
. check for PKU [Phenylketonuria] since people allergic to phenylalanine are unable to metabolize this also.
. avoid phenylalanine derived food: meat,eggs,fish,cheese,products containing aspartame,almonds,beef,legumes,nuts,peanuts,pork,pumpkin/sesame seeds, soyabean/flour.
. Even if you suspect that any medical symptoms you are having are related to an aspartame allergy, you should consult a doctor to rule out illness caused by other disease or factors.
PS. Supplements are not regulated by the FDA.
2. Phendimetrazine is used as a short-term supplement in the treatment of obesity, for long term proper diet and exercise are best suited.
3. You may contact your Doctor for any alternate to the drug, since all weight loss medicines are associated with cardiac problems [and will have phenyl in their products] and/or consult a dietitian for healthy diet chart.
