>>When you are ready, give a ring - his wife is Natasha -McBride of GAPS diet book,a former consultant Neurologist and qualified nutritionist- they formulated the BioKult to replace the primal Defense they used to use - at the time garden of Life who make PD said they were going to tabs only and they were always big enough for a elephant. In the end GoL decided to do loose powder instead. I believe the Maltodextrin was why it fell out of favour with the AiA crowd. I think its a great product.

would be able to help or ask natasha if he isn't sure on your sons case - they are very helpful people - parents of recovered kid

Darla, thank you

I think it will be very wise to go down the route of probiotics and

enzymes before attempting the option offered by the gastro. I do have

Norman on a probiotic called Prebio-7 which I was getting from

Nutricentre, but very possible that it is not as effective as the others

mentioned on this list.

This will most probably be my next move, as for now I have been trying

to manipulate the control of seizures with Vit B6.... waiting to see how

this goes. Some of the ones you've mentioned, I've not come across -

Lipozyme, Klaire Therbiotics - where do you get it from?

Thank you so much, it helps.

Cheers Mandi,

Have just been looking at the Cambridge Nutrition site. Noticed that

they contain Maltodextrin which I probably would be advised to avoid

whilst doing Keto. (I am so tired of having to look for supplements

and meds that are ok on this diet... but there you go. It has helped

Norman's seizures a great deal). My thinking is I will wait awhile and

see how we are doing on B6, if it helps the seizures any more and then

take a leap with the BioKult, other than this I could try to calculate

them into the diet ....hmmmmm!

thanks,

emily (Mum to 12 yr Norman)
