Although being P1 forever isn't really sustainable, it CERTAINLY is sustainable to stay low carb, just adding fats instead of starches. Ketogenic diets work well for many things and seizure activity is one of them.

Much luck to you!

IP's number is 40 grams, though most keto forums suggest up to 50g should be fine for most people. (And that's net carbs, so fiber doesn't count.)

Individuals vary, so that's just a guideline, of course.

Ok - saw the Neurologist, I was sent for an EEG and called today to come in to go over EEG results with the Dr. I have Complex Partial Epilepsy and will start medicine immediately. She also told me to go low carb - IP P1 is perfect for me (obviously controlled my seizure activity) but that is obviously not recommended forever!

Thanks for listening to my issues - just wanted to let those of you know what my outcome was!

Thanks for letting us know. Not surprised that was the diagnosis. Too bad about the low carb option. My niece along with the epilepsy has a metabolic disorder than renders her allergic to protien so her diet is basically carbs. She lives on potato salad, coleslaw and potato chips. No wonder they have trouble regulating her.
