Guest guest Posted December 15, 2001 Report Share Posted December 15, 2001 .... I feel bad that no one has responded to your post yet..... I'm afraid I don't know the answer to either question. I should hope that the physician who is supervising the Keto diet for you should know..... or be able to find out. I don't use the multistix and have never checked ph...... sorry! I just wanted to reply so that you'd know someone had seen your post. I hope a few other can pop on and give you some answers.

Guest guest Posted December 15, 2001 Report Share Posted December 15, 2001 I am not sure but I think that protein in the urine can be a sign of kidney stones - dont quote me on that tho. As for ph - a good ph is between 6 and 6.5 Hopefully now that your son isnt getting any Dextrose things will calm down seizure wise. Glad to hear that the spots have stopped coming. Please keep us posted. Jenn Patti wrote: .... I feel bad that no one has responded to your post yet..... I'm afraid I don't know the answer to either question.

Guest guest Posted December 15, 2001 Report Share Posted December 15, 2001 Hi, . I believe that excess protein can signal kidney stones developing -- not sure what else it can mean. I'm not sure what the optimum pH is -- these kids are so individual. But I do know that 5-6 is very acidic and that's where usually runs. I think 8-9 is more alkaline -- so I'm assuming it's best to be in the middle, like 6-7. Too much acidity can cause problems -- panting, extreme upset, red cheeks/ears, etc. and too much alkaline can mean problems for the diet. . . for some kids the acidity is part of the deal that gets the diet working. Hope this is helpful and that 's doing better.--D __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 16, 2001 Report Share Posted December 16, 2001 HI : sorry a bit behind on my E-Mail. My Son has shown protein-but it always corrected itself-so I'm not sure on that one. The PH optimum for my son is 6.0 to 6.5 but I know 's Jess does wonderful at 5.5 and lower. You have to look for signs-red ears-irritability-panting-anger-low energy ( now these are my son's signs-I'm sure others have others:-)) Hope that is home soon!! (DOES HE HAVE THE CHICKEN POX?)
