Behavioural feeding problems were found to be more prevalent in a group of 15 PKU children aged 1-5 years when compared to non-PKU controls. The parents of PKU children identified poorer apatites (p < 0.01), a more limited range of foods consumed (p < 0.03) and more gastrointestinal symptoms such as vomiting and constipation (p < 0.03) than control children. The children were slower to feed (p < 0.03), were more likely to dislike sweet foods and some ate separately from the rest of the family at mealtime (p < 0.03). The effects on normal feeding behaviour should be considered when advocating strict diet therapy for young PKU children.
与非苯丙酮尿症（PKU）对照组相比，研究发现15名1至5岁的PKU儿童中行为性喂养问题更为普遍。PKU儿童的父母指出，与对照儿童相比，他们的孩子食欲较差（p < 0.01），食用的食物种类更有限（p < 0.03），并且有更多胃肠道症状，如呕吐和便秘（p < 0.03）。这些孩子进食较慢（p < 0.03），更有可能不喜欢甜食，有些孩子在进餐时会与家人分开进食（p < 0.03）。在倡导对年幼的PKU儿童进行严格饮食治疗时，应考虑对正常喂养行为的影响。
