Guest guest Posted October 18, 2003 Report Share Posted October 18, 2003 I really can't be of help, but my son had some blood tests where they said they couldn't get any results because the blood clumped on the slides. He wasn't on any AEDs at the time but just the KGD. He'd ofcourse been on most of the AEds prior to being on the diet. He was also taking a lot of double cream. I was worried but the Dr. supervising his diet just dismissed the clumping as one of those things that happen. I'm sure there's a reason for clumping of blood.
