Splenda question - bit long

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone, it has been a long time since I posted an update on .

Mike had been doing great - (two days away from 5 months seizure free) when he

started seizing again May 20th this year. He has been on the keto diet for just

over 3 years now. Mike is also currently med free (YAY!)

I have been scouring notes and trying to come up with why this happened, and at

first, I assumed it was because his last clonaz dose was May 7th and this was

just fall out. He did great for 2 weeks, then we adjusted cals and everything

hit the fan. We put the cals back, no change. Around this time (after the

seizures started again) I added jello, ketchup, fruit spread, and a small amount

of candy (one gummy bear every 4-5 days) all sweetned with splenda.

It looked like he was getting better, then he would get worse again. His

seizures calmed a little and started coming in cycles - looking back at his

notes, they started to correspond with how much splenda he was getting.

He has been totally off all splenda since Monday (was off most of it before then

but hubby wasnt reading labels and was still giving the ketchup) He had a

horrible day that first day off it, but today was day 3 and we hardly saw any

activity today. I am really beginning to think that splenda was the culprit for

my son.

Has anyone had these problems with Splenda? Are there other sweetners that are

better/worse that I should use/avoid?

Thanks for reading.

I was giving my son Fruit 2o and it's sweetened w/ Splenda, I swear it caused

him problems. Have not tried again.
