LDN and Seizures

[Guest guest]

Does anyone in this group know if LDN will help stop seizures in children? My 4

yr old grandosn has not been diagnosed, still waiting for further testing. Just

last month he had sudden onset seizure activity, and only two major seizures,

then suddenly had another a few weeks later, along with the one or two second

type.(myoclonic) I would love to hear from you, as to whether seizures can be

stopped with LDN, he has an appt with his regular dr tomorrow and my daughter

needs to be well armed with all the info she can get. I know it works for me and

Fibro. Hope it works for seizures too!

It could certainly help him in general, but I can't answer specifically

re: the seizures.

My first thought, however is: what is he eating? He could very well be

reacting to foods.

If he were my child I'd allow him to be put on a drug/drugs (other than

LDN) only after eliminating all starches and sugars from his diet and

seeing how that would effect him. The best way to do that is by putting

him on the Specific Carbohydrate Diet. It has worked wonders for autistic

kids, kids with ADHD -- and celiacs too, who often need more than just a

gluten-free diet.

Wish you well.
