I do believe food can trigger seizures... but different food for everyone because we all have different triggers for our seizures in our brains, (and not everyone would be effected by food).
Some people may not realize they're effected by food though because they won't have a full out seizure. They might just get tired, dizzy, or have a different "side-effect" when they eat, because of their seizures or current medication.

Sugars and some spices can cause seizures. I just found out that basil is a spice/seasoning that can trigger one. Also stimulants such as coffee could bring one on.
