Keto Kid


Horray for Elli! She underwent a napping (20 min.)EEG last week and they couldn't find any seizures! Even though we are still finetuning the diet to get the most success, it is making a difference for Elli. Hats off to her for eating the food and not complaining. She goes through one of these bottles of oil every few weeks! It is not easy, but she has shown us she can do hard things.

Here is a link to a site about Glut 1 Elli's condition. It also has interesting links about the Ketogenic diet. Elli is currently on a ratio of 85% fat 6% protein and 9% carbs. www.glut1.de

Elli, you are the best! And your mommy is pretty amazing too for figuring out how to feed you this special diet.

That's great news! I don't know the background on Elli's seizures, but I'm excited to the keto diet is working so well. My daughter is probably going to start on it in late November, as the drugs are not working for her. I love to hear the success stories!
