Avatar f tn The answer is complicated. There is a universe of seizures that apparently respond well to dietary intervention and many that do not. Seizures have different etiologies.

Here is one excerpt from Diet Doctor's article" How a Diet Change Can Free People from Epilepsy... "I’ve now gone four months without medication and no seizures. My diet is a 80/15/5 (fat/protein/carbs) ratio diet, and it works very well for me. My ketones are showing “green” in the mornings and “yellow” in the afternoon, using the Ketonix.

Avatar m tn Ask your doc about the Ketogenic diet and see if you might be a good canidate for it. Its a hard diet but if it works its worth it.
Avatar m tn Meds are really the only way to reduce the frequency and intensity of seizures, though some people have seizure triggers (flashing light, for instance) and so avoiding triggers is important for them. The ketogenic diet (an extremely low carb diet, only to be undertaken with physician approval and supervision) can help some people with seizures, but is typically tried only after several different meds have failed to provide relief.
Avatar n tn t work he will try Topirimate and then has suggested the Ketogenic diet. If he does go on the Ketogenic diet will it mean Jamie going to special clinic. ?
Avatar f tn She is on a ketogenic diet to help with the Lyme, so she gets low carbs, no sugar or processed foods, no dyed foods, no grains. I have called her pediatrician and scheduled an appointment to evaluate her, but thought I would ask here as well, because it'll be two weeks before they can see her. Thoughts, insights? Anything specific ringing a belly that I should look deeper into? Is there a connection to children's emotions and lyme, or is this two separate issues?

Avatar n tn May I suggest you do some research on the Ketogenic Diet. It is a huge lifestyle change, but is totally worth it. Ketogenic lifestyle requires that you cut out almost all carbs. You eat less than 20g of carbs a day, moderate amount of protein 50-100g/day (60-75 is ideal for most people), and 100-150g fat/day. It is a high fat diet that switches your body from using carbs for energy to using fat for energy.
Avatar f tn We ended up with the last resort being the ketogenic diet. After the diet she was put on Depakote for maintenance....its proven to be the most effective drug for her. Her known triggers for her myoclonics that cluster are fore most illness, followed closely by stressed and also flashing lights. Anyways...my daughter is 18, but functions near a 2-3 year old level. She is semi verbal, a lot of swearing, always seems mad/mean.
Avatar f tn Have you ever tried the ketogenic diet for epilepsy? Everyone is putting pressure on me to put my son onto this diet. It's no easy diet though. How do you explain to a 5-year old that he can't eat the same food as his brother?
559697 tn?1243286385 My granddaughter has Lennox Gastatut and we are going o try the "Ketogenic" diet next month. It can reduce seizures or even stop them completely in 50% of children. If it means even reducing her doses it would be very worth it. She takes Keppra and Topomax right now and the seizures have reduced by half maybe, so still about 50 absence seizures a day.

Avatar f tn We bred her two times and each time lost 3 puppies because of seizures. The mother has never had seizures. What would cause these puppies to have seizures so young. A few was only a few weeks old and the oldest one was 7 weeks old. Thank you.
