Guest guest Posted March 31, 2012 Report Share Posted March 31, 2012 It has been a while since I have needed this info, but I recall 's Hopkins had a good protocol. Along with: www.o-c-s.com/epilepsy/keto. I have also spoken with staff at the children's hosp of Philadelphia, Mattel children's hosp at UCLA division of pediatric neurology. Also a good resource is " the epilepsy diet treatment, an introduction to the kerogen if diet " Sent from my iPhone > > I need some " expert " advice. A friend needs to restart the Ketogenic Diet to bring back into control her child's constant seizures. They've been on the diet before with good results, but the child was rebelling because of boredom, so it was stopped for the past year. However, the seizures returned, even with multiple AED combos. As of yesterday, the doc wants them back on the keto diet; only 9 grams of carbs per day. Any ideas, suggested web sites?

Guest guest Posted March 31, 2012 Report Share Posted March 31, 2012 Some seizures are also r/t an inflammatory immune response, and might benefit from an elimination diet. Â We've seen a few patients do very well with the LEAP/MRT based elimination diet. Â One child for example was having 25 seizures daily, and was seizure free after 5 days on his diet.

Guest guest Posted April 1, 2012 Report Share Posted April 1, 2012 Also consider celiac disease, seizures can by a symptom.
