  • Thanks but I’ll take the expert medical option of the UC Nuero Science Center for epilepsy and all of their specialists.

I appreciate your attempts to educate me…
  • Many true epileptologist do not recommend for older epilepsy patients due to potential kidney damage. It was a research based diet for pediatrics meant to be given to epileptic children in a controlled hospital setting. That’s how the diet began. When their overweight parents and others noticed the “side effects “ of…
  • Thank you, bower my doctor strongly advised me against the KD. I am doing well on the medications I am on and the Celiacs played a part in my seizures. So by following a very strict Celiac diet I have been able to reduce from 3 to 2 anticonvulsants. Unfortunately celiacs tend to gain weight naturally often. I also have…
  • I forget that answer but to my surprise- garlic and onion (fresh and dehydrated in processed foods labelled”spices”) also affect many of us as they are also in the Fructan category with the glutens - wheat, barley, rye. I know I look for everything to be certified gluten-free and my meats nitrate and nitrite free. Cross…

  • I quit - last drank at a New Year's Eve party 1990. Best thing I did for myself. Congratulations on making the choice, its not an easy one - but I would not change it

  • I have no clue if the will be helpful for the bread substitute - there is a bred version at the bottom of this. It was posted by someone on my mow carb group. Good Luck - L I'm going to dedicate this thread to low carb 'MIM's, which for those of you who are unfamiliar with the MIM, these are low carb flax meal muffins,…
  • I use it on carrots and celery as well as whole wheat crackers. I put the cream chees one on my bagel thins or light englis muffin. I often use the garlic and herb, swiss, or chipotle ones as a spread for my wrap sanwhiches. I love all of them. I use the french onion one as a "dip" for my light potato chips. sometimes I…
  • Great Job. Everywhere is the right place with that kind of good news : )

  • My hubby says the same about me. I didn't get checked because I felt fine. When I had to be tested for food allergies (by blood test) I found out I had 28 food sensitivities. Once those were treated - we all slept great. (I did get sleep apnea ruled out as well just in case - no machine for me!). Good Luck.
  • Hello all. I am a Former SBD girl who had lots of success on the plan last year. After my father in law was killed (run over by a car) I packed on all the weight I once lost. I know it worked for me in the past so I can do it again. I am starting with phase one as of today at least for a few days. I am not so sure I will…
