Hi Folks,
I've never been on the GFCF diet for epilepsy but I have been on the ketogenic diet for epilepsy and take my word that diet has done wonders for me. The diet has been out since 1927 but a lot of the drs. stopped the diet after all the AED's came out. The diet is high in fat, low in carbs and protein it's similar to the atkins diet but you have to weigh all your food on gram scale. For adults and older teens the average is 4 grams of fat to every 1 gram of protein a day. The diet builds up keytones in a persons body and the keytones stop or reduce sz. Also when your on the diet you burn off the fat for energy instead of carbs. I lost 75 lbs. on the diet in 4 months and my cholesterol level is much better than before I was on the diet. If any of you are interested in the diet you can speak to your local dietician and you can also buy the book titled: "The Epilepsy Diet Treatment" By Dr. John Freeman from Hopkins University. Here's wishing all of you well and May God Bless You!

Sue
