- Ketogenic
Diet
This
strictly supervised diet is prescribed for children 1 to 8 years
of age or for older children, provided that they and their families
are highly motivated. It is high in fat and low in carbohydrates
and protein. The diet is prescribed when seizures are deemed out
of control or the side effects of medication and/or surgery are
considered unacceptable. Seizures are brought under control in
many of the children who try it and are eliminated, often permanently,
in half of the children who rigidly stick to the diet.
