[Guest guest]

Good luck! Hopefully the low ratio and dose of trileptal are the trick!

Hello all. Langan has started to show signs of being acidotic AGAIN,

so we are dropping the ratio again, to 2:1. I just got the menus and

I can't believe how much fruit she'll get now! This may be more than

she ate BEFORE keto!!

We are still on a small dose of trileptal (75 mg 2X a day) and the

neuro has agreed to keep her on that dose and see how things go with

the lower ratio. We are a bit terrified b/c we haven't seen a

seizure in 12 days and we hate to change anything- if it ain't broke,

don't fix it....- but the acidosis is just too dangerous so here we

go.

Wish us luck! I know Langan will be a happy camper with all this

fruit. I just hope she can be a SEIZURE-FREE happy camper. = )

So sorry to hear about the acidosis returning, even on the lower

ratio.. Could it just be a cyclical thing? Something relatively

independent of the diet? I'm so hoping the seizures remain under

control on the lower ratio, that would be great news--more fruit and

still no seizures. I am really, really pulling for Langan! And the

fruit is so good this time of year. Ethan's calories were

increased this week. I celebrated by buying some beautiful bing

cherries, hoping he could get four or five. He got two.

I hope the lower ratio stops this latest round of acidosis.
