How can my child go on diet if he is allergic or intolerant to dairy products?
The ketogenic diet can be planned for children who cannot tolerate milk or milk products; this is true for either oral or gastrostomy fed keto kids. Heavy whip cream does not need to be a component of the diet, it can be replaced with other food sources of carbohydrate, fat and protein and produce the same degree of ketosis. For children fed by a gastrostomy, nasogastric or jejunal feeding tube, RCF (Ross Carbohydrate Free) is recommended.
