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.

I must confess I have cheated with the gluten with a cookie once or twice a week and lately have been having strawberries and whipped cream. So I haven't maybe been strict enough. Not sure if that would help me or not.
I emailed an epilepsy organization (forgot the name) but they couldn't refer me to anyone. I have an appointment with my doctor next month and may bring up the CBD subject but don't know if most doctors at hospitals would approve it.
I'll keep looking though.
