@A MyEpilepsyTeam Member yes I've tried Keto diet it work very well just hard to maintain kinda popular right now with everyone so things are expensive to buy and there are keto products that are not keto at all. Its a high fat no carb diet. So nothing with sugar! You will loose weight and I saw seizure improvement.

Avoid Caffeine, no soda, coffee, tea, even meds containg Coedine can B hazardous to health, States my Neurologist, I never heard of a specific cut n dry Dietary regime,... but lack of caffeine was paramount in controlling most of my POS Seizures..

My specialist has asked if I would like to try the Kitogenic Diet. I have always been told it is only for children but things have moved on. It is seriously strict also I am vegetarian and gluten free. My specilist is going to talk to a colleague of hers who leads it and sees if we are both up for a challenge. I have spent these years remaking my meals me being intolerant to wheat, this diet would mean I would have to start again. If I get an appointment I will talk about it. Oh I was VNS, it never worked on me.
