It actually helped control my seizures for 3 years, until I went off the diet....then the seizures came back!
Is there any other ways other than anti-convulsants that help with seizures that anyone has tried? I’m going to talk to a doctor about it, don’t worry. I’m just curious if there are any other ways other than medication because I hate the side-effects. I may just deal with it. I’m probably going to try Depakote.
Ketogenic diets
Exercise, sunlight, ketogenic diet, music, sports etc.
Stick with your meds and your Dr. unless you are free for 3 months let's say , but stay with your doctor's supervision always. ericthom3

Has anyone tried the Ketogenic Diet and seen less seizures (hopefully).
There are all different types of diets these days and you usually find that the healthier you eat the less amount of crap you will want to eat.But exercise and food is a big issue for us
My son has been on the Ketogenic diet for years. It has helped the seizures more than any anti-seizure medication. Decrease in seizures and in the severity. Lately, he is having severe constipation. Doctors only recommended dulcolax.
Any suggestions?
Yes, I want to make sure I can add fiber to his ketogenic diet or how much. (Tube fed)
Thank you.
