Bill,

You are weaning the diet. How are things going? Did you get control and not

need it or are you trying something else.

The miralax seems to be working for us so we'll just keep it at that. Do

you have a list of the recommended supplements for a seizure kiddo on the diet?

Weaning is just as stressful as being 100 percent on the diet. We are

still weighing and keeping a ratio even though it is nearly a regular

diet. I think we are at 0.3:1. I try to keep protein about equal to

carbohydrate. I am restricting calories as per regular keto, even had to

drop a bit. Control is about as good as it has ever been. 2 or 4 short

seizures a day with immediate recovery. About 1 month ago there were a

lot more for some reason and we nearly went onto a med, but thankfully

they went away. There seems to be a period of 1 or 2 weeks after a diet

change where things can be unsettled. We are dropping very slowly. It

will take about 1 year.

Miralax, whatever works for you on the diet!

We had some hair loss at the beginning of the diet even though we had a

local supply of supplements. We switched to WholeLife in California who

make supplements especially for the diet and this went away. We use

Cal-Mag-Zinc III. We also give milk of magnesia. And I add brazil nuts

daily. And I add some psyllium husks for fibre.
