Guest guest Posted February 9, 2011 Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 As far as my son`s seziures,when he was about 4 moths old he started having seziures.They were febrile.He was on phenobarbitol for awhile.it didn`t help.I finally took him off meds as they didn`t work at was rotting his teeth.Made him lethargic,and very aggressive.After cleaning up his diet,and doing some other therapies,such as chelation,and anti viral,candida,he was seziure free fro about 6 years,and then they started again around puberty.Now,I seem to have them pretty well under control.I do think he is photo sensitive and this triggers seziures.I think the ketogenic diet is more for epilepsy,but I may be wrong.I worry about the mercury in the fish.He doesn`t seem to be able to digest nuts and seeds very well.I give him creamy peanut butter and sometimes other nut butters.He seems to have lots of food issues and real problems digesting.I have been struggling with diet for him for 11 years.He has problems gaining weight.I have problems getting the weight off.The blood type diet seems to help me loose weight.Been on it for about a month.Helps my allergies,sinus problems,and asthma.If I eat meat and potatoes,I gain weight.I did loose weight on the atkins diet about 8 years ago.When i tried to do it again,it wasn`t working.I do think,I am unable to digest meat,Messing up my kidneys,and my son seems to have this issue as well.I am not sure what his blood type is,but since he seems to not be able to digest meat,I think,he may be blood type A.I want to get him tested.Thankyou for your replys.Take care.

But I am right now scratching my head thinking what other diet you may be able to do. There are others and honestly, when I get a minute I will share on them  But right now, because it is what I am familiar with the ketogenic stuff is still swirling around my head  So this is what I am thinking. I will post what comes into my head and eventually something will grow out of this I am sure. Certainly your friend may benefit, but hopefully you and your son will too  Now this is what I understand regarding the kidney thing. High protein diets like the Atkins diet ae not usually recommended. They can be in certain cercumstances, but I am not an expert.  the ketogenic diet is not high protein, it is moderate protein. On Bees diet we can only eat meat, but on the standard ketogenic diet they eat different stuff, sometimes meat, fish, eggs etc, but sometimes nuts and seeds  The amount of protein is usually less than 25% of the diet. The carbs are usually less than 5 % and the rest around 70% is fat  Now I cannot tell you if this is safe for your child, but what I can do is refer you to a site where you may be able to find out other folks opinions, including a few doctors and medical folk. Here too they may be able to tell you a doctor that would be able to help you more with this. It is the Atkins site. Here they have professionals on their community board that know plenty of stuff about all this. I go to them sometimes when I need to know more  http://uk.atkins.com/  Anyway, no worries if this diet is not right fo you. I will over the next couple of week post more about what I know. It just takes me some time sometimes, my head only works as it works, but I will keep posting because I do know there are other folk here that have asked me for similar info. So even if it is no good for you, it may help them  Love Joanne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
