Guest guest Posted September 22, 2004 Report Share Posted September 22, 2004 Viola, don't have much advice on the fasting as we didn't fast when we started, but one thing to keep in mind are things to stay busy with! This was our biggest thing, Kalob had to have something to do all the time... Want to wish you the best on your journey, hope it all goes well.

Guest guest Posted September 23, 2004 Report Share Posted September 23, 2004 Hi Viola, Good, good luck to you and Caden over the next few weeks! My son has similar seizures and syndrome to your fellow. We began the kd in June. The best advice I recieved from my keto-coaches was to pull all the starches and sugars from his diet 3-4 days ahead of time. The whole family participated and it gave us all a chance to talk about the up coming changes -- eating healthy whole foods instead of highly processed foods, foods that are going to help Isaac and ones that make him sick. It was important learning for everyone and I'm sure it was much less of a shock to Isaac's body once we actually started. His favorite food in the world was fries and he loved other starches too. So it was a bit of a way of breaking in gently. Isaac has had an excellent response to the diet. He's not seizure free or med free HOWEVER he has so much fewer of both that he has his life back, and so do we! For the fast I just imagined that Isaac was sick and not eating for his own good, and that my job was to nourish him in other ways. It was much harder on me than him. I'll be thinking of you and Caden Kathleen > We are going to the hosptial Monday 27th, to start the Keto, diet > with my son Caden.Any advice on going in iam really scared, hope my > son does well, the fasting has me worried.I pray alot that this will > help him ,these seizures have gotten so bad.Cade has Myoclonic, and > partial tonic, and has Lennox- Gastaut.Any good advice welcome. > Thanks Cades mom Viola.
