Hi, welcome to the group. I suggest that you purchase a copy of Dr.

Freeman's book, the Epilepsy Diet Treatment, it has tons of

information in it. Once you are on the diet, you start to understand

it quite quickly. Ask tons of questions on this site, there are a

lot of knowledgable parents. I'm still learning as I go, but the

support here is great. I'm sure the other parents will give you more

detailed information.

I wish your grandson Cody success with the diet.

Hi Pat,

Welcome! Cody is lucky to have a grandmother who is interested and

supportive..... that will help everyone a great deal.

Don't worry, you'll soon learn our " language " . Read the book and be sure to go

into the " files " section at the homepage for this group.

best wishes,

Patti, mom to Katera, age 7, veteran of over 2 years on the Keto diet (not

currently).

Hi, I am new to the site

Hi I am Pat, grandmother to Cody who suffers from Lennox-Gastaut

Syndrome. Cody seizures are becoming more severe and he is now

about the start the ketogenic diet. After reading thru your old

messages, I feel like you are all talking a different language, and

am wondering if we will ever understand this diet. He has not

started it yet, so my knowledge of this diet is poor at best. I

guess I am going to need lots of help from all of you " pros " .

Cody lives with his mother, and visits his father weekly, and every

other weekend which I am sure will complicate this transition for

him and everyone concerned with his welfare. Any advice will be

greatly appreciated. Thanks.....Pat
