Continued success and Question

[Guest guest]

,

Thanks for being excited with me. Yes, is still on the 3:1 ratio which is

a pretty easy ratio imo thankfully. He is happy as long as he gets oatmeal.

And oatmeal makes me happy because it hides the fat very well. He has had

tremendously reduced seizures since last Tuesday now. The last 3 days we have

only seen 2 sz each day!!! Just a week ago he was having hundreds per day.

Question:

I haven't been doing 's ketosticks much lately. I was doing them daily and

they were always very high, higher than the highest (immediate deep purple).

This was when he was having hundreds of szs per day.

When he suddenly stopped having so many szs last week I sorta stopped doing the

keto sticks until last night. Both last night and this morning his sticks were

in the small to medium range. Is this good? Or does this mean he might need to

raise his ratio? How will I know when we need to raise the ratio?

I'm so glad I have you experienced moms and dads to lean on. I pray for each of

you daily.

Pam and , age 8

Oh, wow, Pam! Sounds like the reason he was having all the seizures is because

his ketones were too high. If the ketostix turn dark immediately it means

ketones are dangerously high...and may mean acidosis.

High ketones are fine, but not that high.

My has medium ketones all day that build to high just before bed. It works

great for her.

Too, make sure he is getting his fluid allotment, because that alone can cause

ketones to go high if he isn't drinking enough. On the other hand, too many

fluids is not good as " washes " them.

Sounds like he is doing well where he is. If ketones stay there and he

continues with two seizures... you will want to tweek the diet. You may wish to

raise the ratio a bit, or you may want to look at his calories. Check his

weight. Is he gaining and not growing taller? This happened to my daughter - a

rapid weight gain. With lowered calories she got high ketones on a LOWER ratio.

Keep track of ketones. Do them at least twice a day - mid morn and

mid-afternoon. I usually do them more often. Log them to see a pattern; log

seizures. In a week or two's time you will know the pattern and can begin

tweeking.

I was more lax on using the multistix at first, too, as everything was going so

well for us at first. Then went into acidosis. I did not know the stix

are not suppose to turn dark immediately. Now I check her ketones frequently.

Keep posting for ideas... sometimes things are obvious to others that aren't to

us when we are in the midst of the trial! Blessings... .

On the diet you do what works. Sorry can't be more helpful. If you

promise to keep better records, you will be better able to decide what

is the best course to follow.
