Anyone doing Adkins version after keto diet

[Guest guest]

Hi,

has been on the diet for 2 1/2yrs and recently had trouble with his

kidneys and his liver function. In addition to osteoporosis. This week I have

done more of a Adkins version for him. I cut back on the fat and given a little

more carbs and protein. Seizures have actually improved. I really though it

was going to hit the fan! Maybe his liver is happier with less fat? I am

going to keep trying this as long as seizure don't get worse. He is of course

happier too. Anyone else have similiar luck? Thanks

Hi Bobbi,

My son Broc just started the Keto diet last week. While we were at Hopkins

I asked about the Atkins diet and I was told that they have had the best

luck using 10 grams of carbs per day versus the 20 grams that Atkins

suggests.

Hi Mike

Are these NET carbs or total carbs?

Thank-you

We have been trying aKeto/Atkins version diet--higher fat

My daughter SEEMS fine, happier, and doing good in school--yet her EEG is

worse than ever

I believe in treating clinically--except the docs are concerned with the EEG

results

Of course it will be repeated to see if that was an off day for her

Please tell me more about how you are doing the Atkins diet for seizure

control--our Neuro is very interested in this approach--but has never tried it,

other than for our daughter using a combo of Atkins/Keto

Thank-you

How is Broc?

Best to you

Hi Sandii,

Sorry but I am not sure if it is net carbs or total carbs. Broc is on the

Ketogenic Diet and not the Atkins Diet but when they brought up the Atkins

when we were at Hopkins last week I wrote down the numbers that I gave you

because I had seen a lot of discussion about this prior to us leaving and

thought it may interest some people. Broc has only been on the diet for a

week but so far so good.

My son is in the Atkins Diet Research Program at Hopkins. Since there

is already a very high volume of messages on this board I opened a

new yahoo group to support parents/caregivers and individuals who are

using this modified version of Atkins to gain seizure control. Anyone

interested is welcome to join and discuss how we are applying the

diet etc. there at:

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/atkins4seizures

Thanks,

Mike,

We are seeing Dr. Kossoff. He is a very nice man however like most

Neurologists he assumes you know nothing and he did not give me clear

answers to all of my questions - but it was probably partly my fault

for getting side tracked and distracted by my sons behavior. On the

flip side I like his manner and attitude. He has gotten back to me

immediately with questions and has been extremely acessible...never

had that in a Neuro before.

Are you doing Keto or the Atkins program...if you are doing Keto, I

think I saw some of your posts on the Disney Message Boards. Did you

take your trip to Disney World yet ? If so how did it work out. We

are thinking of going in September and I am concerned about working

the diet in a new situation.

Hi ,

We are doing the Keto.

It was me that posted on the DIS about a future trip to Walt Disney World.

We are going in October and based on what I know now I don't see any

problems with it. The one advantage that we have is that Broc is still

eating a lot of baby foods which will be very easy to pack. I will try and

post a report when I return.

We are doing Atkins following Keto. It seems to continue to give me

some assurance but I don't know if it is providing anything more.

We go to Disneyland and explain our daughter's situation. We then

take the premeasured, packed on ice meals to the nurses office and

get the food when we all eat. They are very accommodating. Given

that the stamina of our children is low, you might consider asking

for a special needs access pass.
