Low/No Sugar medication help
by kelly123, Jul 29, 2005 12:00AM
My 1 yr old daughter is currently being treated for a brain tumor with chemotherapy. Unfortunately, things are not progressing as we had hoped. As an alternative with chemo I would like to begin a low/no sugar diet for her to see if this helps with treatment. I have some ideas for diet changes and recipes, however I want to start a vitamin to supplement some nutritional loss from the chemo. Does anyone know if there is a vitamin that exists that is low/no sugar added and how to get it? I am also interested in knowing if there are over the counter medications like tylenol that are no sugar too. I appreciate and look forward to all of the suggestions. Thank you!!

Dear Kelly123,
i'm afraid that i can't be of more help, but if you are going to ue a low sugar diet, i don't think it is possible to avoid all sugar, but if there is sugar in a vitamin it would be negligable same as with medications like tylenol. i would also suggest talking it over with a doctor before starting this. Sorry i couldn't be more help. bret

You can always ask your pharmacist, too. They can sometimes special order products if they aren't commonly available or stocked in the average pharmacy.
