Since you were so young when you started following this strict diet, and since you said in another answer that you were a bit confused about all of it, how did your parents manage to get the seriousness of the situation through your 5 year old self ? I can't imagine my 5 yo self going all "oh, so there's this amino acid I can't break down and that's gonna end up stored in my brain if I'm not careful. That's fine, I'll just be extra careful for the rest of my life !"
Have you ever snuck to the kitchen to eat some of the forbidden food because you didn't know any better ?
Were you very jealous of all the other kids who could always eat whatever they wanted without restriction ?
