Hi @heal33
Exactly, I just take pure CBD and not the full-spectrum medical cannabis, this last one contains THC and other components of cannabis. Already much research has been done on medical cannabis and more needs to be done. But the economical interest on it ..... It is important to be treated by an epileptologist with experience in prescribing CBD and medical cannabis, not all epileptologist have such an experience yet, unfortunately.
My diet is a gluten-free one. Even if you are not coeliac, gluten can provoke inflammation and trigger to seizures. Taking gluten out of the diet does not hurt!!! Very recently I have been reducing the consumption of dairy products to see if it benefits me. As it is known, the food chain is not as it once was, it has changed much.
As to the behavioral approach, in such an approach, you learn about your own triggers, what leads to your seizures and how to control/manage those triggers so as to avoid seizures.
Hoped to have helped a bit by sharing this information 🙂
Have a nice evening!

Santosha,

Thank you for taking the time to answer my questions. I am seeing an epileptologist now but don't know if he would agree to have me use CBD.
I will keep looking.
I also read today that they say there is a link between inflammation and epilepsy. Inflammation is a word that seems to come up often with health issues.
Again thanks for you help. I notice you have responded to other people's questions too in the past.
I have been trying to keep gluten and dairy out of my diet.
