I have reacted horribly to every presc med and so it is just Kava and CBD oil. I am grateful that you have gotten relief from your seizures, meaning that they have lessened.

@carissadennery, good morning

First of all, Happy 2023. I wish you and all in this group, a year of better health!

Thank you for your kind words. There are more and more studies, showing a strong relationship between the gut and the brain. Usually, epileptologists say that gluten does only affect those with celiac disease. But I do not have celiac disease according to some recent exams my doctor asked me and taking out gluten from my diet has made a huge difference in my seizures, reducing them much as I have already mentioned. The gluten that are in our food nowadays irritates much the gut! My husband who is in good health and does not have epilepsy, is also on a gluten-free diet, feeling much better. A contact of mine who has autism is also on a gluten-free diet recommended by her doctor and is better. Dr. Dale Bredesen, who is specialized in Alzheimer, also recommends a gluten-free diet to his patients. Unfortunately, traditional western medicine does not yet recognize the benefits of a gluten-free diet for those who have a brain disorder.

Curiosity, the CBD you take is Epidiolex?

Have a nice day!
