The MAD diet continues...

We haven't had as good of a day as we did last Sunday the 22nd. However, he's doing better on the MAD diet than he did on the GAPS diet. His seizures are about 9 everyday right now and we're hoping that they will decrease even more soon. Most people see a change within the first couple of weeks. The only problem is most people who start this diet, start with a dietitian and are hospitalized for the first couple of days. Bodi's neurologist thought I was educated enough on the whole thing to just get started. Im anxious to get in with the dietitian soon to make sure I'm doing everything right. Our apt. isn't until April 28th but we are first priority if there's a cancellation so fingers crossed!

Bodi's spirits are better the last couple of days. I taught him how to read labels, use my carb app to keep his carbs under 15/day and make a few of his own meals… EMPOWERING!

Here's what a typical day of meals looks like for him:

scrambled eggs in heavy cream with 3 slices of apple
turkey slices rolled with cheese, carrots and 1TBS ranch, 3 slices of apple
smoothie after school (heavy cream, tbs peanut butter, 1/2tbs cocoa pwd, ice, capful vanilla
cheese burger in lettuce with homemade condiments, carrots

Yesterday I found a low carb tortilla (3 carbs!) and he was able to have a quesadilla. He was thrilled!

I'm going to have Bodi add some thoughts about how he is dealing with this journey later...
