Re: question about what levels to check

[Guest guest]

At the beginning, check for reflux (especially if you see trouble

sleeping), constipation and too high ketones. There are other things,

but these are very common at the beginning. If you are still using meds,

you can also get problems at the beginning (and later) when combined

with the diet. Great that you saw seizures down to 3. This and better

should be possible, but it will take a lot of work and patience.

Keep records of everything and weigh and take height very accurately

every week.
