@A MyEpilepsyTeam Member ... pre keto, i was having 3-4 types of seizures every 1-3 hours. meds didn't work. on strict keto i was 1-3 (on a rare occasion 4) type of seizures every day or every other day. after surgery (and still on keto) i am seizure free for about 2-3 weeks at a time. with cbd and the loosely base keto, i am seizure free for about 1/2 a year or when i ran out of cbd oil. note: do this with a grain... that works for me... results may vary.

yes... there is many. there is the keto diet, the atkins diet, the mediterranean diet, the south beach diet, ect. all of um have 1 thing in common... high fats, low carbs. drs just use the keto/atkins diet because it is treading at the moment.
i am on the loosely base keto diet. i was on the strict keto for over a decade and then switch different keto things until the loosely base diet for about 5+ years.
if you wanna know more... just message me

Yes the Keto diet has been successful for some. A friend of mine has been seizure free for over 30 years since his mother started him on it as a child.
I provide the full link on Epilepsy research from the US National of Library of medicine below, but here is the specifics related to diet options and research being done to modify other diets to improve diet as a treatment option for more with Epilepsy: "Diet
Dietary approaches and other treatments may be more appropriate depending on the age of the individual and the type of epilepsy. A high-fat, very low carbohydrate ketogenic diet is often used to treat medication-resistant epilepsies. The diet induces a state known as ketosis, which means that the body shifts to breaking down fats instead of carbohydrates to survive. A ketogenic diet effectively reduces seizures for some people, especially children with certain forms of epilepsy. Studies have shown that more than 50 percent of people who try the ketogenic diet have a greater than 50 percent improvement in seizure control and 10 percent experience seizure freedom. Some children are able to discontinue the ketogenic diet after several years and remain seizure-free, but this is done with strict supervision and monitoring by a physician.

The ketogenic diet is not easy to maintain, as it requires strict adherence to a limited range of foods. Possible side effects include impaired growth due to nutritional deficiency and a buildup of uric acid in the blood, which can lead to kidney stones.

Researchers are looking at modified versions of and alternatives to the ketogenic diet. For example, studies show promising results for a modified Atkins diet and for a low-glycemic-index treatment, both of which are less restrictive and easier to follow than the ketogenic diet, but well-controlled randomized controlled trials have yet to assess these approaches."
