Can a kenogenic diet mean I could reduce or stop you medication. My seizures a currently controlled with tablets so I'm very lucky but I would still like to reduce or cease taking them to avoid their side effects.
@A MyEpilepsyTeam Member it was the Modified Atkins Diet, I am sorry that I was not clear earlier. With max 20 g carbs a day.
@A MyEpilepsyTeam Member of you or the drs dont like the keto diet, what about the MAD (Modified Atkins Diet)?
I tried the ketogenic diet for 6 months now (I am 27) and the overall conclusion is that itdid not work for me. My neurologist said also that it most of the time the diet not work in adults. However I still want to try it. Another unpleasant thing: My period is longer and comes now 2 times a month instead of one. So this week I will stop with the ketogenic diet, at least I tried.
Thank you for the reply
before the keto diet i had trouble getting the right meds. when i was on it, 10+years, i went from a lot of meds 3 a day to 2 meds, keppra and phenobarbital, 2 a day. and those 2 meds are as low as you can go. i still had seizures but the diet lesson the seizures.
