Re: mct oil-

[Guest guest]

Behind on messages a bit , so not sure if anyone replied, but you do

need to have a lab urine test done if there is another repeat of those

readings.

Protein/blood showing together can be a sign of kidney stones, and with

the diamox on board, she may be at higher risk.

Not sure where the leukocytes would come in from a kidney stone though,

maybe she has a UTI/bladder infection? We were told to get a lab test done

if 2 (one after another) abnormal multistix checks ever showed.

A lot of keto kiddies do show a trace of protein ( does

intermittently) but not at a '3' level I don't think.

Since you saw a seizure increase at the time of these readings, it might

all be tied in, but I'm not sure if I have missed a post about what happened

with subsequent readings.

Can't help with MCT - we have only ever tried it twice with , a bit

of disaster here seizure wise afterwards, so I have kinda wiped out any

memories of it, including how it was calculated in....
