i just don't ever eat out...no one ever has anything you can eat. Nobody knows what PKU is unless you have it then come the awkward ness of having to try to explain it. How hard woulo it be to provide fruits and veggies... not all of us can be carnivors

We almost never eat out. I cook for Josh at home. But I do know that when Josh hangs out with friends or goes to his all day paint ball games he comes home so hungery.. There is never anything he can eat.

I rarely have a problem eating out. I have classical PKU and usually order a salad or a side of fries and only eat a few. If I'm out to dinner, usually I save room during the day so I can order pasta and eat like a quarter of it. It depends on the portions and your specific diet, but its a rarity that I CAN'T make it work.

I try to avoid eating out when possible... but if I go out with family I just nibble from the salad bar. Places just don't even recognize vegetarians- but even they can supplement with nuts, cheese, croutons on a salad. Sometimes I feel so limited it what is ok.
