If you haven't done so already, take a look at the Ketogenic group.
There are over 500 members on this site and all have been extremely
helpful to us, new to the diet in December.
You may better find the answers you are looking for there as the
traffic is much heavier and response time it greater.
Also, they have a file which contains recipes and stories regarding
each child therefore it may help to compare notes.
