Re: Anyone had problems with diet in combo with lamictal?

[Guest guest]

Hi there,

What ratio is on right now? Could be that lowering even

more might help. Several kids on the group do best at very low

ratios. Why don't you post some of his numbers and maybe something

will jump out at someone.

Best wishes,

was on 3:1 but they just lowered it to 2.5:1.He just got on

this new ratio ,so I'm hoping it will help.He just keeps going into

super high ketosis.Also he looks really pale and awful like his blood

sugar is very low.

Linn,

What level of lamictal is taking? Weans are very hard, but

our neuro team says they are hard any time (beginning of the diet,

or later, it doesn't matter.) So, going with that, I would perhaps

start a slow wean for . He is doing so well seizure-wise, so

on one hand you hate to change anything. But on the other hand,

maybe it wouldn't hurt to start a wean. His emotional state may

worsen during the wean; it was hourendous for us. But now that we

are through, Ethan is a new child. Unfortuanately, his seizures are

unchanged (except for a wonderful day on his first med-free day,

Wednesday.) But I'm hoping these frequent seziures are withdrawal

and will start lessening in frequency, soon.
