What other conditions will a ketogenic diet help?
There is a great amount of science based evidence which shows the following conditions can be reversed or greatly improved on a keto diet:
Autism: Â New research is showing that keto diets are helpful in the treatment of autism.
Neurological disorders including ALS, Multiple Sclerosis, and Parkinson’s Disease: research is showing that ketone bodies exert a protective effect on the nervous system and slow the progression of nerve related diseases.
Mitochondrial support: Keto diets provide mitochondrial support and can improve metabolic energy disorders such as pyruvate dehydrogenase complex deficiency (PDHC), glucose transporter type 1 (GLUT1) deficiency, McArdle disease, and a range of mitochondrial myopathies.
Aging is slowed: The ketogenic diet reduces inflammation and slows the human aging process.
Acid Reflux/GERD (heartburn): people who suffer from acid reflux or chronic heartburn will find great relief after adopting a keto diet, especially if all grain and fermentable carb sources (FODMAPS) are eliminated from the diet.
The bottom line here is that the ketogenic diet is a powerful metabolic tool for treating a wide range of illnesses. It is not a fad diet, and if it is implemented correctly, it corrects metabolic function at the cellular level. Â The result is improved health and wellbeing.

I have to say — on the 2nd day of keto eating my heart burn was totally gone and I’d been eating Rolaids like candy. My first loaf of Keto Bread is cooling on the counter — I can’t wait to try it. Thanks for the recipes!
