Nutricia

Um, and I have PhD, um, funding, um, at, from Epilepsy, um, Australian Epilepsy Research Fund.

Um, and I do do medical education and speaker, and get speaker funding from a number of pharmaceutical and nutritional companies, including Nutricia.

[smacks lips] Um, so what I'm gonna cover.

[smacks lips] What is di- drug-resistant epilepsy and status epilepticus? For those of you who are not living in the epilepsy world all the time, what is ketogenic diet therapy, and what's the history of ketogenic diet therapy in epilepsy? [smacks lips] What do we know about the pathophysiology? Um, [sighs] what types of ketogenic diet do we use? Um, indications and contraindications, the efficacy and the expectations, how do we monitor it, and what do we do when it stops working or does not work? [audience member coughs] So epilepsy is common, very common.

Most commonly, just because of compliance and the nature of the tolerability of a very fatty diet to a lot of adults, we use modified Atkins or low GIT.

Um, in patients that are PEG or NG fed though, we will use a classical ketogenic diet.

Um, and just answering the question that was raised earlier, we would typically use the Nutricia four to one feed because it's what is available.

It's reliably available.
