Can the ketogenic diet be used for conditions other than epilepsy?

0

So far, the only condition that the diet seems to be effective is epilepsy. It also seems to useful for treating seizures in a rare metabolic condition that begins in infancy (such as glucose transport protein defects). In this condition inadequate amounts of glucose (sugar) gets transported to the brain. There is very little information on the use of the diet in other conditions, such as multiple sclerosis, diabetes, obesity, etc.
