Low carb for epilepsy

[TheCoulerPurple]

I've been having a chat with my epilepsy nurse about trying a low carb diet. She is happy for me to give it a go and says some people find it reduces the amount of seizures they have. Has anyone else tried it?

Hi TheCoulerPurple.

Here is a link to our information on the ketogenic diet, or ketogenic diet therapy. This also includes information on other diets such as Modified Atkins Diet, MCT diet and LGIT diet. epilepsy.org.uk/info/treatm...

I hope you hear from others in this community soon. If you don’t, as well as managing the HealthUnlocked community, Epilepsy Action has other ways for you to contact others. These are:

Facebook facebook.com/epilepsyaction

Twitter twitter.com/epilepsyaction

Talk and Support virtual groups epilepsy.org.uk/support-for...

Talk and Support face to face groups epilepsy.org.uk/support-for...

From our experience, in most case people find it helpful to talk to or contact people who understand what they are experiencing.

I hope all goes well for you.

Regards
