Grace's Magic Diet

In 2004, an adorable young girl named Grace brightened the floors of Johns Hopkins Hospital. She likely had myoclonic-astatic epilepsy (Doose syndrome) and within days was a "super-responder", becoming seizure-free permanently with the ketogenic diet. Her sister and cousins wrote a book called "Grace’s Magic Diet" about her experience both before and after starting the diet. For more information click here.


Grace's Magic Diet


Grace is going to the hospital to start a magic diet. The magic diet may help Grace's boo boo seizures disappear.


To start the magic diet, Grace's tummy needs time to be empty. This part will be hard, but Mommy can give Grace some water and they can watch Barney movies.


Soon Grace will be able to have some of her magic food. At the hospital, she'll start with an eggnog shake.


On Saturday, Grace's big sister Kate and cousins will come to visit. Together with Grace, everyone will have a fun day away from the hospital. Maybe they will go see the fish at the aquarium or on a boat ride.


On Sunday, Grace, Kate, Mommy and Daddy all get to go back home. Grace can drink more eggnog shakes on the way home.


Once Grace is home, she can have many different magic foods that are on her magic diet. She can have hot dogs and ketchup, eggs and bacon, eggplant pizza, ice cream and ice pops and much, much more!


Mommy and Daddy think Grace will like her magic diet, especially if it chases those boo boo seizures away. But no matter what happens, one thing is for sure, Mommy and Daddy and Kate love Grace very much!


Grace's Magic Diet - Part 2


Then Grace started a Magic Diet. No more medicine! No more boo boo's! Hello talking!


Sometimes Grace's diet can be hard. Grace can only eat her magic food at magic times.

Sometimes Grace gets sad. She can't have treats and snacks like some other kids. Mommy says 'No, No - boo boo's for Grace.'


But when other kids have pancakes for breakfast, Grace can have Keto pancakes for her magic breakfast or even a Keto doughnut!


When other kids have pizza for lunch, Grace can have Keto pizza for her magic lunch!


When other kids have a hot dog and french fries for dinner, Grace can have a Keto hotdog and Keto french fries for her magic dinner


When other kids have snacks Grace can have her snow cones and ice pops anytime or all the time. And if it's Grace's magic snack time she can have her Keto crackers or Keto muffins.


Still, Grace's magic diet is hard. Mommy & Daddy & big sister Kate are very proud of Grace and so happy the boo boo's in Grace's head are all gone!


The best thing of all is that it won't be long now for Grace's magic diet to finish its magic. Then Grace will be able to eat what other kids eat!
