Suggest Ketogenic Diet For A Child
I was writing about my two year old daughter. We already know that she has ketosis due to the diet and lifestyle she lives at her mother s house (as I do not get to see her very often). I was wondering about ways that I could find out a proper diet for her before the condition escalates.

Hi,
I am not sure how you came to the conclusion that she has ketosis. Anyhow, ketogenic diet is contra-indicated for someone who has ketosis from any cause, as this will aggravate metabolic derangement. Kindly discuss with your doctor, or get back to us with her exact symptoms.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
