Epilepsy - How Nutrition Can Help

For people suffering from epilepsy, a specific diet with supplements helps reduce the frequency of seizures. Food choices and nutrient content of foods are also crucial for more control over the frequency of seizures.
In my recent video, "Epileptic Seizures - How Nutrition Can Help” I will examine the foods, additives, herbs, and supplements that increase epileptic seizures so that you can avoid them. I will also list the best foods and supplements for reducing seizures so you can increase these in your lifestyle. I will also mention foods and supplements that react with specific epileptic drugs so that you know if you need to be careful with these or not. And I will mention drug interactions to help you recognize if you need to supplement or not depending on the drugs you take and their effects on nutrient status.
Please share this article with friends and family who may want this information.
To your health and happiness :)

I typically have a seizure every 40 days and still haven’t found a cure. I’m taking keppra and it doesn’t seem to help. Today I’m officially going to start taking vitamins B12, D3, Biotin, and Magnesium. I’m also going to start a healthier diet as I’ve always struggled eating as a kid. If I can at least give over 80 days without having a seizure I will forever be thankful for your advice. I’ll keep you guys updated on how my progress goes!

[@poison-moth]

How’d it go?

[@Rudy_gil1]

@@poison-moth since I’ve posted this comment I haven’t had a seizure in nearly 5 months! To be fair I did start taking a new medication two months ago, but either way I still beat my 80 days without having a seizure, and I really do think the vitamins helped. I hope this information helps you!

[@billsheridan4927]

I’m also taking keppra and have seizures often. I have been on a lot of different medications and have seizures on any anti seizure medications. I have changed my diet to a more natural diet and have noticed that it helps. I have had seizures for about forty years . I had a sleep study last year and found out I have sleep apnea.

[@marmon5662]

​@@Rudy_gil1what is the new medication you're taking? Are you still seizure-free? Keen to know..

[@ratchaneekhu5647]

[@alannahri1385]

The only thing i agree are sleep and water. I increased my sleep my Epilepsy feeling reduced. I increased my animal fat and stopped vegetables it helped with my Epilepsy.

[@naturesignaturebyravi2023]

Very informative video. Thanks for making it. Love from India.❤

[@rosiogutierrez4608]

Much appreciative for all this information ❤

[@BananaZen7]

Yes, Dr. Galit, thankyou for your excellent advice...but you mentioned that not skipping meals is important while i learned that intermittant water fasting helps to reduce seizures...and is good for the brain...so which is right? And i want to add that after my brain tumor operation the high daily dosis (2X500mg) of levetiracetam (Keppra) that was given to me in the hospital and revalidation center caused the skin of my footsoles to peel and fall off...a weird side effect of too high dosage...i reduced the dosage without doctor advice...but with doctor consent...now, 5 years after the operation, 2X250 mg per day without side effects...Sunny greetings from the Netherlands🌞

[@brianschroeter2105]

Anytime I have seizures I can feel my body lacking nutrition and vitamins and many Times I am left immobile,can't even move as much as a finger.

[@kto-totam2876]

Thank you! How much vit b1 do you recommend?

[@anamariafernandezpabon822]

Hi! Thanks for the information. I have Epilepsy and taking Lamotrigine. Can I take NAC? Thanks!!!

[@rebekkad.2092]

This was so helpful! I have heard that molybdenum can be helpful for certain people who have seizures as it clears out things in our system. Is that not true? But that you should take it sparingly for only a limited amount of time.

[@paulaamero]

My partner goes into seizures if he eats dark chocolate ...it effects his central nervous system. Also he is on the keto diet which is suppose to really help with seizures but very different from what's presented here. Just fyi.

[@Ded-Ede]

I had a benign brain meningioma tumor removed a year ago and now I’m left with undiagnosed headaches. The doctors neurologist neurosurgeon‘s are all recommending I take Keppra/Vimpat . I’m trying to avoid those so hopefully foods and nutrition plus fasting will help.

[@nikitakanodia3223]

Hello doc, my seeking health optimal prenatal contains 100mcg of molybdenum per day. Is that an issue? I don't really feel any kind of trigger from taking it.

[@artnault7088]

Thank you. You just gave me mire info than the doctor's that treated me. All the doc did was ask me if l had banged my head at anytime in the past. And gave me pills. That sent my depression through the roof. I did believe that the lack of eating and water were the main contributors. You have confirmed it for me. The neurologist never said a word about diet or depression. My 2 seizures came as l woke up and they were Multiple occurrent seizures they had to put me out or in a coma for 2 1/2 days and keep me in hospital for 11days and 6days. I am 62 now.

[@brianschroeter2105]

I've been suffering from seizures going on 8 years now and I have a herd time dealing with a proper diet because I haven't worked from I've been diagnosed with seizures and my neurologist has declared me as having epilepsy from last year and don't recommend me to work and has declared me as disabled,and it is hard to maintain a proper habit.

[@jasper36]

I've had trouble eating since I was a small child. I've gone days without eating, over the years. My theory is that this could have a lot to do with my seizures but it's literally laughed at, when I speculate.

[@arturosuarez2421]

I exercise frequenty 6 days a week with 1 day off. I do Muay Thai, Brazilian jiu-jitsu and free weights. I have been on Clabazam and Lacosamide since 2016. I have had only three seizures from 2016- 2023. Although I would like to get it to zero and do take most of the good foods and vitamins you recommend, what else is there for me to do? I spend 50-50 indoors and outdoors at work due to the kind of work I do in my daily life. Prior to my brain surgery in 2016 at UCLA I was having seizures constantly either once a month or every three to six months while taking Phenobarbital and Dilantin. I have had epilepsy since I was 6 months. I'm about to be 54 years old in a couple of months. I would also like to mention that I live a normal life like any other human being and have four beautiful children.

[@Sydopath]

You said to avoid Kava?? Kava stimulates the production of Gaba in the brain, which ameliorates the onset of seizures. It’s one of my “go-to” meds when I feel a stress related seizure in imminent.

[@brianschroeter2105]

My last seizures were January 31st where I was hospitalized for 3 days where I couldn't move to my right side for 3 whole days and that is where I could move left side but not my right side and I ain't even mentioned the pain I was experiencing

[@jazzy8795]

I have been doing keto not because I think its a good diet but because some of the doctors are saying it is good. What to do?

[@brianschroeter2105]

Every time I have seizures I feel it in my gut it is Always gives me pain I be leaned over in pain

[@meelauramee]

I really appreciate all this information provided but I am wondering why keto works so well for epileptic people?? Mainly animal protein lots of cheese and not so many fruits. ... 🤔

[@pureserenity0909]

I agree

[@SolomonGranderson]

I take tegratol 200 but still no cure, but willing to try this.

[@Music_Man1080]

Vitamins are a joke too. We just need to eat the right things and lay off the sugar/carbs.

[@shamikabrown3076]

That's weird because some of those herbs u mentioned are said to prevent seizures.

[@ynohnazenb6683]

Some people on anti-convulsant medications cannot drink grapefruit juice

[@sukumardutta9738]

Hi Doctor. Hope all is well with you. My wife just entered into third trimester of pregnancy. She is taking 1 tablet of iron & folic acid after lunch & 1 tablet of combined calcium citrate malate, vitamin d3, magnesium & zinc after dinner. Could you please suggest me to add any special food or supplement or vitamins to her diet which can contribute to the brain & body development of the growing fetus?

To anybody who reads this. Seriously get on. The carnivore diet for seizures. Do your research or reply to this and I’ll tell you our current story

[@tomthetavernman]

I like the way she starts that it has to be plant based whole foods. What a joke. Meat is the healer.

[@badassmystichealingtarot]

Thank you for the information. Please consider stopping the use of the phrase "suffer from". It is for individuals to decide for themselves whether or not they are suffering. It also influences the ways that others judge us. Please consider using language like "lives with, has, or experiences". When talking about anyone who lives with any sort of illness or disability.

[@DorisL-ti6yn]

Correct 💯.

[@GalitGoldfarb]

Although this is how we are taught, you are absolutely right! Thank you for this important input.
