WARING; Re:Has anyone else had fantastic results from neurosurgery or is it jus

[Guest guest]

Zoe, Arnold, and all,

Thanks so much for your input. My daughter takes 15 grams of coconut oil per

meal right now. Earlier last year, when they tried to increase the ratio on her

diet, she did not do well with it. We also tried purified MCT oil and she broke

out in a rash. Go figure. So much about her case history does not fit the

" normal " pattern of things. She has been gluten free for years, and i do think

it makes a difference.

The insights you all have are much appreciated!!!

I think the positive thing about weaning from keto is that she will get more

fresh foods. We will probably stay low-glycemic. She knows that she must live

a careful life.

I am very thankful for this site.

neurofeedback as well as vitamin, amino acid, and mineral supplements. Also

extremely helpful was learning relaxation and breathing techniques and going on

a gluten and lactose free diet.

many options to explore for managing seizures and overcoming them with or

without medication. Had I understood more about nutrition and how the drugs

could make my condition worse, the seizures may have never gotten so severe that

surgery seemed to be the only hope. A lot of people are told this when there are

many options that may be safer.
