Hi All,
I'm new to the forum so apologies in advance if this question has been previously raised. My 10 year old son has been recently diagnosed with Type 1. My wife has been researching cases online of individuals who were able to reverse their diagnosis through a low carb diet.
I would love to hear from any parents who have tried to introduce this diet to their children and what were the results? My concerns are that such a diet is going to be very restrictive for a 10 year old boy. I'm also worried about how safe it is and the practicalities for every day life. The diet itself is recommended to repair leaky gut and includes bone broth, raw cultured dairy such as kefir, coconut products, fermented vegetables, sprouted seeds, healthy fats, omega 3 and some fruit.
I have reservations that this diet will not fulfill all the nutritional requirements a 10 year old boy will need to grow and also what effect it will have on his mental wellbeing too.
Please share any thoughts you have as this is all very new to us and we just want to do what is best for our little lad.
Thanks
Fran
