Guest guest Posted October 19, 2004 Report Share Posted October 19, 2004 Hello everyone! I am new to the group, not so new to the diet. My daughter, briana, is 7 years old and has had seizures daily since she was 18 months old. She has been diagnosed with lennox-gastaut, pdd and developmental delay. We did the keto diet when she was 5. It did not give her full control, but helped GREATLY, in more ways than one. Unfortunetly, one day she started giving me hell about consuming her cream, and just flat out refused to from that day on. Needless to say, we stopped the diet. She even knew when the cream was hiding in something So, after that, she got worse, she's gotten pretty bad lately, and i decided to try phase 1 of the atkins diet. It started working. I saw improvement, but lately i have been having trouble keeping her in ketosis. I joined this group to help me fine tune the atkins for briana. I had her on 15 grams of carbs a day, then i read the john hopkins study and it stated the kids that achieved ketosis on the atkins were only on 10 grams. So... theres one problem. Also, how can i get to the " atkins4seizures " board, I read about in one of the recent posts? Looking foward to getting to know all of you, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
