Guest guest Posted September 20, 2004 Report Share Posted September 20, 2004 Hi My son has just turned 2 and had no sz control at all, his neuro wants to reffer him to GOSH to start the trial liquid diet. Are there any other kids on the same diet ? Looking for info really. Deb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 21, 2004 Report Share Posted September 21, 2004 Deb, its a good treatment, the sooner its is started the better the resultsi.e. the shorter the period the child has uncontrolled epilepsy. Why is yours in liquid form?Does your son have difficulty eating/swallowing? Try to read " The ketogenic diet " by Freeman before your meeting so you can make a list of all the questions you really need answering, Nicola Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 21, 2004 Report Share Posted September 21, 2004 Deb, hello. Actually had to look into that as I was, maybe still am, clueless to what you are talking about. I did end up at the web site of GOSH (Great Ormond Street Hospital) and they are doing a study to see which method of ketogenic diet is better, MCT (medium chain triglyceride). So, i'm assuming that the liquid diet would be the MCT? Here is an article about the study... http://www.ich.ucl.ac.uk/pressoffice/pressarchive/epilepsy/ep_pressdi et.html Sorry i'm not much help here, I had to research just to figure out what I did get. Good luck, i'll try to look up more.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
