Guest guest Posted December 15, 2001 Report Share Posted December 15, 2001 [Ketogenic] Update on and I got home yesterday after a 5-day stay at the hospital to launch the Keto diet. The results are nothing short of a miracle for us! She hasn't had a single seizure in nearly three days (I've never been able to say that before!), which is particularly impressive after the previous week when she was averaging 24-30 per day. She is also tolerating the formula beautifully (RCF, Microlipids, apple juice, and water), with no signs of nausea or stomach upset whatsoever. We had not dared hope to see such dramatic results, and I was certainly expecting to see a good deal of vomitting given her history of reflux. This is all better than we had ever dreamed!! She is still a bit lethargic, but that's improving each day. Coming home was certainly good for boosting her perkiness! The doctor gave her Carnitor to both help with constipation and to boost her levels as she starts the diet. She seems to be having a little bit of intestinal cramping, which we don't know to attribute to the diet or to Carnitor, but we hope it will settle out over time. Thanks so much for all the support we've gotten here. It really eased my mind going into all of this to know that you all are only a click away and that you have so many good ideas to share. Just wanted to share our MERRY Christmas news, Rose-Marie, Rose-Marie, Why do you have apple juice in 's Keto mixture? Carol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
