Guest guest Posted September 13, 2001 Report Share Posted September 13, 2001 I really feel for you -what a terrible experience. I insisted they not fast (my neuro wrote a paper on that so they agreed) & asked to start her at a 3:1 ratio (they did not agree to that but their numbers are so " fuzzy " that I think her ratio is lower than 4:1) Eating fat on an empty stomach can induce vomiting though some kids can handle it. It does get them into ketosis and out of the hospital faster if it works. I personally don't think it's fair to the kids to risk a reaction like is having. I wish they would let us do this at home slowly easing into it instead of the abrupt start they traditionally use. I bet they will in the future. If it is a choice between stopping the diet & going to 3:1 or lower maybe they will let you lower the ratio. Best wishes for success with this and for to feel better-Joan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
