Hello!

[Guest guest]

Hello! We soon will be starting the GAP diet still have lots to learn. I have

a 13 year old son that has seizures (the last almost 9 years) this year has been

the hardest yet. Long story. My son was very ill this summer from I believe

was aseptic meningitis caused by his seizure medicine. My son couldn't hardly

communicate and didn't even no his own name. He was given 3 IV antibodics while

in the hospital and a week later his health even more down hill. My son started

having drop episodes...where he would just faint. We broke a toilet and had

many closes calls. My son would have a lot of seizures in the morning..then he

would go 7 hours seizure free then he would have them close to 2

pm....4pm....6:30pm...some times even when he would be eating. My son started

on the Modified Adkins diet in April of this year he went seizure free during

the day the first time in 8 years but he still had them allot of seizure

activity at night so the doctor wanted to change his medicine. I really was

scared to and it was the biggest mistake I have made. My son doesn't react well

at all to any medicines at all. And since being on the Modified Adkins

diet...we really react violently to anything he is allergic too. Three weeks

ago we went off cream and butter and added probodics and enzymes and he has had

only a few episodes in 3 weeks. Nights the seizures are still there but have

gotten some better. I now think most of seizures are caused by a leaky gut

which is causing his food allergies. Today he had 2 episodes, I now no he can't

do any coconut flour...if he gets any he will have a seizure within 2 1/2 hours.

And he got into decaf flavoured tea...and had a seizure with in minutes. I need

to get started quickly. I have started doing some broth. Any suggestions?

Does anyone on here have anyone with seizures? I know the GAP diet has been

successful with some cases of epilepsy. I really think if we can fix his gut we

will fix the seizures. My son started his seizures almost 9 years ago with a

bad virus he vomited in his sleep for 3 days he has never been the same. My son

was a very ill little guy and I believe he always had trouble with gluten. He

has been gluten free for at least 2 years. We only do stevia for sweetners.

Eat low carb, high good fat, moderate protein. He is very sensitive to lots of

things and developing food allergies it seems every day. We need to get started

soon.
