[QUOTE="ally5555, post: 207378, member: 7357"] Well small kids often get a type of toddler diarrhoea and that has been linked to a high fat intake - seems to increase transit time in the gut. That can also continue in older children - has been linked to a type of IBS tummy ache. Plus there is also the actual amount of fat that you can get kids to take - this is a question I have often asked low carbers but in practice they do not have huge amounts because where are you going to put other than drowning food in butter or oil . I find that many kids do not like that. Kids with diabetes have enough to deal with without having to be very different. I am not advocating a high carb diet with a lot of sugar but dose adjustment gives them some normality. Some of the studies on the use of ketogenic diets have shown that some kids have had increases in blood lipids but the diets do need the use of specialist fat supplements that in the UK are available on prescription. My kids are equally as healthy as yours Jay and they have eaten carbs( not sugar) - in fact my youngest has never been to the doctor ( except for jabs). Jay out of interest how much fat do you actually consume a day. I can calculate it for you - have an analysis package on my laptop so it is quick. Ally [/QUOTE]
