Has anyone had any problems with vitamins and other supplements increasing seizures?

 I had this problem in the past, even with companies that offer products that are "pure" and high grade, like Kirkman. 

I am thinking about buying some supplments for my son but I was looking for some feedback from other mothers who have their children on a limited diet. 

 If you do use supplments, which kind and brands do you all use?

 Thanks. Any help would be appreciated!

Vitamins and Minerals

I was looking in the book written by Dr Freeman about the Ketogenic diet and even though your child is not on the diet, I think that the vitamins and minerals recommended might be a good idea.

He does not mention brands, but he recommends calcium and a carbohydrate free multi-vitamin with minerals.

Warmly,
