NatalieHodge replied to MaineMom's discussion 'Dr. Bernstein's Low Carb Method Works!' in the group parents of kids with Type 1"Nope, definitely wait, because to cinch diagnosis you will have to have upper gi then biopsy, and if you do diet, the biopsy may revert back to normal woithin a three month time. If she is really sick, then push for the celiac antibody panel to be…"
TC replied to MaineMom's discussion 'Dr. Bernstein's Low Carb Method Works!' in the group parents of kids with Type 1"Our son's most recent blood work showed that he has a IgA deficiency. Though he was negative in the past for celiac, our endo said that she will request a different type of test ("Igt-based"). Because our endo said she wasn't…"
TC replied to MaineMom's discussion 'Dr. Bernstein's Low Carb Method Works!' in the group parents of kids with Type 1"Thanks Natalie! I was using the wrong search terms when I first looked for the effects of a low carb diet on growth, but using "ketotic" I was able to easily find research. Currently our son is eating 120-160 carbs a day, but I will check…"
MaineMom replied to MaineMom's discussion 'Dr. Bernstein's Low Carb Method Works!' in the group parents of kids with Type 1"Can you let me know what studies show that ketosis is bad for the brain? I would love to read for myself...."
NatalieHodge replied to MaineMom's discussion 'Dr. Bernstein's Low Carb Method Works!' in the group parents of kids with Type 1"funny, in kennedy my daughter with celiac the opposite is true, gluten stunted her growth for much of her life, that is part of how celiac presents... now that she is gluten free ( and diabetes in control, they presented at the same time) her growth…"
NatalieHodge replied to MaineMom's discussion 'Dr. Bernstein's Low Carb Method Works!' in the group parents of kids with Type 1"the fact is that they both do... ketogenic diet is for children who are desperately riddled with seizures, it is a last resort, ketosis is not good for the brain, but this situation with kids with terrible seizure disorders you are picking the least…"
MaineMom replied to MaineMom's discussion 'Dr. Bernstein's Low Carb Method Works!' in the group parents of kids with Type 1"Hi Natalie,
At the end of this post I will give you a GREAT recipe for the ones who love sweets! I love the name....Fat Bombs! They taste like fudge, except they are actually GOOD FOR YOU!
We do eat some sweets.....just the ones we make ourselves.…"
MaineMom replied to MaineMom's discussion 'Dr. Bernstein's Low Carb Method Works!' in the group parents of kids with Type 1"And here is a follow up question. How can avoiding a food that is not essential to good health (grains) lead to stunted growth?"
MaineMom replied to MaineMom's discussion 'Dr. Bernstein's Low Carb Method Works!' in the group parents of kids with Type 1"Hi Natalie,
I have heard from others about "stunted growth" being associated with a ketogenic diet. Since you are a pediatrician, you should be able to provide us with some scientific evidence. Where can we find well designed studies that…"
NatalieHodge replied to MaineMom's discussion 'Dr. Bernstein's Low Carb Method Works!' in the group parents of kids with Type 1"wow! that's amazing! you are probably extending her honeymoon phase! kennedy's lasted about a year and a half! she must still have some insulin production"
NatalieHodge replied to MaineMom's discussion 'Dr. Bernstein's Low Carb Method Works!' in the group parents of kids with Type 1"as long as you are not ketotic ( adkins) there is no concerning effect on growth, but be sure to check his linear growth every three months ( disclosure, I am a pediatrician)"
NatalieHodge replied to MaineMom's discussion 'Dr. Bernstein's Low Carb Method Works!' in the group parents of kids with Type 1"thanks so great to hear!! I do wish I could get kennedy earting lower carb, she has celiac so she's of course gluten free, but she LOVES SWEETS, and we really see a difference. we eat so healthy at home and her bs are great over our family…"
MaineMom replied to MaineMom's discussion 'Dr. Bernstein's Low Carb Method Works!' in the group parents of kids with Type 1"Hi Taterbugs Momma,
We have chosen to be "unattached" from devices. She does MDI. There is no need for a CGM when you are low carbing....you just test with the meter. Her lows usually result from overshooting with insulin....but since her…"
MaineMom replied to MaineMom's discussion 'Dr. Bernstein's Low Carb Method Works!' in the group parents of kids with Type 1"Hi TC,
Your son's situation is intriguing....you could ask Dr. Bernstein...he has a free webinare once a month....I have gotten many questions answered there. One caveat, he asks that you only communicate with him after you have read the entire…"
MaineMom replied to MaineMom's discussion 'Dr. Bernstein's Low Carb Method Works!' in the group parents of kids with Type 1"Hi Mikki!
If you are interested in learning more about it, I suggest reading Dr. Bernstein's book, "Dr. Bernstein's Diabetes Solution" by Dr. Richard K. Bernstein. You can get a used copy on Amazon. The book is very detailed, but…"
