Question
Can children with epilepsy eat sweet foods?
Answer
Epilepsy patients, especially adults, may face greater risks when consuming sweet foods, but it is not entirely prohibited. Many everyday foods contain sugar, such as fruits and beverages, which are generally safe to consume. Epilepsy patients should arrange their diet carefully, as various factors can trigger seizures. Seizures not only cause pain to the patient but also disturb those around them. Therefore, it is important to be cautious about avoiding triggers for epilepsy. Although many people enjoy sugar, epilepsy patients should try to reduce their intake of sugar.
