Since her levels are a bit off, did the Dr. reccomend putting her on Lactulose? It's a sugury solution that helps eliminate the toxins through her poop.

My Dolce had LS, diagnoised at 6 1/2 months. She did the shunt surgery and is doing great now.

I also fed Dolce a high fiber content diet to help eliminate toxins (oatmeal, sweet pot, yams, lentils, quinox). Also give her bits of watermelon, that helps too, but I forgot how. Eggs, cottage cheese were a great staple in her diet to provide the right protien. No Bully sticks if you give her those. They're high in protien too. I'll look up recipes to send you.

Also if you're going to put her on a prescription diet, give her the brand Royal Canin and not Hills. Hills contains an additive (it's starts with an "E", sorry I forgot the name, but the Yahoo group has articles in the archives about it) that is proven to be bad for LS.

Sorry your little one and you have to go through all this.
