Re: acidosis,which alternative?

Carolyn,

If you don't like your doctor, can you change to one who will listen to you

more?

On the ketogenic diet they recommend vitamons and supplements with the diet.

(none containing carbohydrates or any sugar though.)iron, calcium and

selenium were 3 of the other minerals my daughter mentioned.

He sounds like he needs iron supplements. Too much iron is dangerous also

so don't overdo. Here there are some childrens vitamons you can buy with

minerals such as iron in them which are ketogenic safe. Could you speak

with your pharmacist about this. Perhaps your doctor will talk to you

tomorrow and prescribe something.

Some people have talked on here about using bicarb of soda for acidosis but

I am not an expert at all. I have no idea what normal is on the diet or how

much to use. You could look it up on Hopkins site. It all sounds very

complicated.

I did a search on iron deficiency anemia and it can be caused by other

things also..

I'm sorry I am not very much help but this is hard because I am not a doctor

and do not want to harm him by my advice.

Subject: acidosis,which alternative?

aël is on acidosis but could you give me some alternative to this?

_lower the ratio, what I did, he's now on ratio 2.1

_give him some orange juice when he's bad?

- tell me more please!

Now he's got anemia, his iron is down to 7 instead of normal norms in

france at 30 to 400....

doctors don't care!!!!
