Need Opinions on Where to Start Diet

[Guest guest]

Our son Broc has been on several AEDs with no success. We have made the

decision to start the Ketogenic Diet. Currently we are scheduled to start

the diet at Hopkins in August. Broc has had some issues with eating in

the past and for that reason he has been seen at the Feeding and Growth

Clinic at Children's Hospital in Omaha, Nebraska which is close to where we

live. The Feeding and Growth Clinic at the hospital is awful. That is not

just our opinion but the opinion of many that we have spoken to and for this

reason we made the decision to start the diet at another place and chose

Hopkins. We found out yesterday that the dieticians at the hospital are not

part of this clinic and according to the nurses at Broc's neurology clinic

many patients have been very happy starting the diet in Omaha. Omaha would

be a much more convent place for us to start and be seen but we will do

whatever is best for our son. I plan on speaking with the dietician and

would like some suggestions on what questions to ask and also opinions on

weather it may be an advantage to start at a place like Hopkins that seems

to have a comprehensive program as opposed to Omaha which has a dietician

that has administered the diet but doesn't have a program during which

several children and parents start at the same time.
