RE: boy with sudden egg allergy
Well, not sure how it works on the modified Atkins, but on the classic Ketogenic diet, you have MODERATE protein (too much protein is harmful to body function plus excess protein converts to glucose) - -so a 6 year child would be getting between 6 to 9 grams of protein per meal, and one egg is about 7 - 8 grams of protein (depending on egg size). So, Jon would never consume more than 3 eggs per day. So if that boy was really consuming 10-15 eggs a day, that would be an enormous amount of protein.
We are removing egg from Jon's meals for the time being, as it seems to be one cause of the diarrhea.
Yay!! Jon has now gone 3 days without a seizure!! Longest since August when everything hit the fan.
