Guest guest Posted October 12, 2004 Report Share Posted October 12, 2004 , You are right that most kids need ratios higher than 2:1 or 2.5:1 but remember this is an individual thing. We didn't drop from 3:1 until we started working toward Atkins, but I have a feeling we could have done it without problems. One child here (was it Luke??) started at 2.5:1, if I remember correctly. I guess I'm saying do what you think might be best for , even if others aren't doing the same. I wonder if lowering her ratio might make those early morning seizures worse, though?? I don't know. I had another thought... How many meals does eat in a day? We started out on 4 but after two weeks we modified that to 3 meals and 2 snacks (each equivalent to half a meal). My was getting very hungry in the morning at school between breakfast and lunch. Spreading out her food by doing the snacks really did help to stabilize her ketones.

She seems to produce ketones so easily, and I worry that she may be prone to acidosis, like 's daughter Langan??? > > Bloodwork came back good, last week. Cholestrol at 230, which is high, but not crazy high. > > Any other thoughts??? , mumma to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
