Abstract in brief

  • The study examines long-term outcomes of children who underwent the ketogenic diet for epilepsy treatment and how they are doing years after stopping it, with most showing good health and seizure control.
  • Despite most having abnormal lipid levels while on the diet, their cholesterol normalized after discontinuing, and their growth metrics were generally within normal ranges.
  • The findings suggest that many children maintain seizure improvement and overall health years after ending the ketogenic diet, although a small number still prefer high-fat foods.]

Wow, sustained improvements in seizure reductions after discontinuing keto. Maybe it acts like a reset button? Long‐term outcomes of children treated with the ketogenic diet in the past - Patel - 2010 - Epilepsia - Wiley Online Library https://t.co/xQYIjy7H0u
