<s>[INST] Hi, I am a concernd grand mother. My grandaughter has being having seizures since she was 3 years old and she is now 8. Her seizures got worse through time but then stopped in the last 12 months. But she has now had a couple of short ones. I have been looking into the ketogenic diet. My daughter is not pushy enough to ask for this help. How can we look into it more. My daughter has already asked about the diet but is not getting any response from anyone. I feel i need to help both my grandaughter and daughter with this as as i said my daughter is too shy to ask. They attend Walsgrave hospital and only go to Birmingham on the odd occasions. Not enough appointments in my eyes. [/INST] Hi.... I understand your concern. In your query you have said that the kid is not having any seizures for the past 12 months. Then in that case I don't think a ketogenic diet will be necessary. Ketogenic diet can be tried only for intractable seizures. The other option which you can try if the seizures start again and uncontrollably -  is using by Pyridoxine at 40 MG per day on doctor advice.Regards - Dr.. Sumanth </s>
