| Author | Topic: currently on Accutane; easing into the diet? |
| Linny 03-19-2003 01:34 PM | Hello Wai, My son is currently on Accutane and I am already easing him and me also into the first two weeks of the diet. I am reading more and am trying to figure out his portions according to weight etc. I have him eating only fruit in the morning and I believe I have a fresh egg source and will check that out. I already froze my tuna so I have to get more. My question is: should I hold off on the sample diet until his accutane is over because of the concentration of vit. A or can these two exits together without harm? ... I have been reading and it seems to me that you will tell me my son should be off accutane while on the diet. He hasn't been on the drug for a full month yet but there will be a build up of this substance in his system so how effective would the diet be at this stage? Also please, how much raw fish and egg do we consume at first to acclimate out bodies to the bacteria? He is 19 yrs, 5'8", 180lbs. Thank you so much for your time and consideration. Linny |

So, it may be very confusing quote:to give the diet a fair try, yes (giving your son a fair chance) quote:especially in the initial stage of Accutane use (the first months), there may be severe adverse effects, before it gets better, or not. Though, also in the months after, Acctuane can have adverse effects on his skin quote:simply start with a very little bit, and gradually increase that dosage For example: start with consuming only half a teaspoon egg yolks daily, during the first 3 days. Then consume one teaspoon fresh raw egg yolk at day 4, 5 and 6. Subsequently consume 1 whole egg yolk at day 7, 8 and 9, and then double (day 10, 11 and 12) and subsequently triple (from day 13 on) that amount this is easiest to do with egg yolk If you/he wants to start with fresh raw fish, the tactic is the same, finally increasing the dosage up to about 3 to 4 oz |
