Message: <blockquote data-quote="ChetRoi" data-source="post: 1736007" data-attributes="member: 468700">LaMont, thanks for responding.Sorry for the less-readable post. The verbiage is a cut-and-paste from my monthly medical summary for physicians. I agree that I have sacrificed readability for what I consider to be precision. It is helpful to the medical community; less important for this forum, perhaps.As I noted in my original post, I am ketogenic and have been for two years. Carb challenges of about 25 extra carb grams are periodically undertaken about every six months or so to determine how I am responding because this is changing--important information for the diagnostician. The fact is even at an average of 18 carb grams per day, my disease is still progressing although much more slowly since I began the keto program.And remember, unlike many of you, I do not yet have a diagnosis. Collecting data on my evolving response to carb intake has been important to the physicians I have seen, and I have seen many. That includes the biochemical geneticist whose Whole Exome Sequencing was not at all enlightening.But here's a question for you. Are you aware of anyone who is carb intolerant and also food cholesterol intolerant? I am also cholesterol intolerant but to a much lesser degree than with carbs.</blockquote>
