Re:Low Glycemic Index Diet on TV

Rochelle,

What was your best resource for following the low glycemic index diet? How long

was your daughter on the diet before you saw decreased seizure activity? Is she

also on meds or were you able to decrease meds with the diet?

Thanks for the info. I like that this diet is simpler.--, mom to Rose,

Hi ,

We saw a decrease in seizure activity about 2 days after implementing the diet. 

We were thrilled.  Whether or not we use less meds over it is unknown because

we've never ommitted the diet.  However, if we give her a full banana (med

glycemic food and contains 27 carbs which is her daily allottment) we are

guaranteed a clusters or an increase in quantity or frequency.  That, we know.

We are still on Keppra - just took her off Topomax.  Looking to either remove

Keppra or add Felbitol (sp?).

We also believe it's a very healthy diet overall.  And, with all of the issues

andra will have in life, we'd like to decrease her cavity and infection

rate.
