Question
A neighbor’s child has epilepsy, and the family loves him very much. I would like to ask what dietary precautions should be taken for epileptic patients?
Answer
Epileptic patients should avoid eating “inducing foods” such as lamb, dog meat, roosters, wild ducks, and carp. Smoking, strong alcohol, strong tea, and coffee should also be limited. Spices like pepper, chili, mustard, scallions, and garlic should be consumed in moderation. At the same time, it is advisable to seek professional medical treatment at an early stage to alleviate the impact of the disease on the child.
