EPILEPSY
AVOID
Alcohol
Any food that appears to trigger attacks or may interact with anticonvulsants

Some seizures are so mild and fleeting that they are barely noticeable; others last for several minutes, during which the person falls down and is seized by convulsive movements. The frequency of convulsive also varies from person to person; some epileptics suffer many seizures each day, while others may go for months between episodes.
Neurologists generally discount any link between diet and epilepsy, with some exceptions. Epileptics who have migraine headaches that are triggered by certain foods often cease to have seizures when the offending foods are eliminated. Some diabetics suffer seizures when their blood sugar levels drop suddenly. Large amounts of alcohol consumed in a short time can cause seizures. Although evidence is sketchy, there have been rare reports of aspartame triggering seizures in epileptics.

THE HIGH-FAT DIET
A rigid diet that appears to halt seizures in children whose attacks cannot be controlled
By drugs has been hailed as a recent breakthrough. In reality, however, the diet dates to the early 1900s, when doctors devised a dietary treatment for epilepsy based on the ancient treatment for epilepsy based on the ancient observation that seizures ceased during periods of prolonged fasting. Fasting is hardly a practical long-term treatment for chronic seizures but researched found that a high-fat diet mimicked fasting metabolism without starvation.

THE KETOGENIC DIET
With the development of effective anticonvulsant drugs, the dietary treatment was dropped. But now neurologists at Johns Hopkins Hospital have refined a dietary treatment for severe epilepsy. After about 24 hours of fasting, the body depletes its reserves of glucose and starts to burn stored fat for energy. However, burning fat in the absence of glucose gives off waste products called ketone bodies, which build up in the blood and are excreted in the urine. Very high blood and are ketones can upset body chemistry, and even lead to a come and death. But at lower levels they can eliminate seizures. Carefully structuring the diet by allowing only a sprinkling of carbohydrates can result in a therapeutic level of ketones in the bloodstream.
