I'm looking for advice on the ketogenic diet or low glycemic diets. Has any tried these and had it help seizure control? Too much sugar is a trigger for me, so I was wondering if it might help to be more strict with diet.
Thanks
That sounds great i am going to talk to my Doctor
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

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.
Does anyone know if you can follow a modified or the normal Atkins diet if you're using statins for high cholesterol I'm supposed to be avoiding fats ( my main source of protein is chicken ) Just thought I'd ask before I Google it
