If your child’s health care provider has recommended that you consider the ketogenic diet to help manage your child’s seizures, you likely have many questions. Your health care team can recommend various books and websites that provide helpful information for parents learning about the ketogenic diet for epilepsy. While these resources are valuable, sometimes the best information comes from other parents who have been in your shoes and can share their family’s experiences.
Thankfully, the Internet makes it possible for parents to share their stories with other parents anywhere in the world. For today’s KetoConnect blog post, I’ve collected some of my favorite YouTube videos of parents sharing their family’s ketogenic diet stories. I hope that these families’ experiences will be helpful for you in learning more about life on the ketogenic diet for epilepsy.
