Question
My son has been experiencing epilepsy symptoms since a year ago. He has had four seizures in this past year, despite undergoing active treatment. The treatment outcomes have been unsatisfactory, and we have tried many different treatment methods without eliminating the epilepsy symptoms. Just yesterday, he had another seizure, which occurred after eating seafood. The doctor advised not to eat seafood in the future.
Answer
Epilepsy patients are advised to eat a light diet, avoid excessive meat consumption, especially pork (pork fat is absolutely prohibited). Other meats can be consumed in moderation. Increase intake of foods rich in vitamins B and C, such as fresh vegetables, and foods high in minerals and bile salts, including apricots, bananas, grapes, oranges, seaweed, fish, egg yolks, and cabbage. Corn, brown rice, whole wheat, soybeans, garlic, mushrooms, yeast, milk, animal livers, sardines, and lean meats are also beneficial for the brain. Based on your situation, your son had a seizure after eating seafood. The doctor advised not to eat seafood anymore. I hope these suggestions are helpful to you.
