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.

My pleasure @heal33!
I have been to many doctors since I have been diagnosed with epilepsy in 2019. Not many are experienced in treating patients with CBD. Hope you can find a doctor with such an experience in your city :-). I just do not share the contact details of my current epileptologist, as I do not live in the United States.
Have you noticed any changes in your seizure activity since you took gluten out of your diet? I first experienced it in November last year, having my seizures dropped by more than 50%. In December, because of meetings with friends, Christmas, New Year, etc, I went back to a normal diet without restrictions and my seizures have more than doubled. I have then decided to take gluten out of my diet this January and I remain gluten free since then. My seizures have reduced by more than 60% when compared to the same period of last year. My husband has been with me on this diet and he also feels better.
