Guest guest Posted October 4, 2002 Report Share Posted October 4, 2002 Does anyone use popcorn? We were in the beggining but took it away when seizures weren't improving. Our dietician was never really sure of the proper numbers because of popped verses unpopped. I wondered if anyone was using the numbers off from the stanford meal planner or had different ones. I'm going to add it back in now with him getting improved seizure control since dropping meds. which was obviously the problem to begin with. Thanks to everyone who pointed that out! we're on our second Topamax reduction only one more to go, on that drug and his seizures have went from 19-24 per week to 5 with first drop the week before last and only one since this weeks drop. Boy its nice to finally see some results, to think if we would have stuck with only a three month commintment we would have given up too quickly.

Guest guest Posted October 4, 2002 Report Share Posted October 4, 2002 I cant help with any values for popcorn since our numbers are different but just wanted to say that it increased seizures for Mike (at least I think it did slightly - things got better when we stopped but not entirely sure if that was it or not) I was told that corn is a high starch/sugar food. I suspect that Mike might also have a corn allergy (altho he never did prior to the diet) Jenn jkornegay34785 wrote: > Does anyone use popcorn?

Guest guest Posted October 4, 2002 Report Share Posted October 4, 2002 > WHAT ARE YOUR VALUES FOR POPCORN > THANK YOU > SANDI ---I called orville redinbacher and this is what they gave me for microwavable movie theatre butter flavored. Serving size-she said was four cups but she'd give me the numbers for one cup so I'm guessing you would have to weigh out a cup of made popcorn to get the gram amount. Calories-35 Total fat-2.5 Carb-4 Protein-0 I haven't made it up yet to get the grams to get the amount per 100g values. Jackie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 5, 2002 Report Share Posted October 5, 2002 when I gave popcorn I figured the numbers that were easiest to figure were for hot air poped without butter you can get the numbers for anything at the USDA site... http://www.nal.usda.gov/fnic/cgi-bin/nut_search.pl Protein g12.0030.569 Total lipid (fat) g4.2031.185 Ash g1.8030.088 Carbohydrate, by difference g77.900 Fiber, total dietary g15.10 had increased seizures, and I figured out later it was due to blood sugar fluctuations.

Guest guest Posted October 5, 2002 Report Share Posted October 5, 2002 Barb, Thanks, thats what I had decided to do was used the air popped,hopefully they still sell them. The numbers are much more accurate than the microwavable. Thanks for the numbers it saves me from looking them up. Jackie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
