Hi Jake, Good Afternoon (@jakedduck1)
I have discovered that gluten has a great impact on my seizures. I have been more than one year gluten-free and had a decrease of more than 60% in my seizures. My epileptologist has recommended me to a neurologist who is his mentee in a study about food in people with neurological disorders, which is something still state-of-art. I have already been twice with this doctor who has discovered that I have SIBO (small intestinal bacterial overgrowth). Just completed the two weeks of treatment with antibiotics. Let's see if treating SIBO brings good results in my seizures. Too early to say anything, but I am hopeful 🙂
Have a good afternoon and evening of Sunday!

They say the gut is our second brain, I hope you have good luck after treating the SIBO. May also consider a holistic/integrative doc who treat the gut imbalances w food and natural supplements. We must heal our guts to heal our bodies… and antibiotic use has ruined our natural immune function by imbalancing our gut bacteria. Blessings to all of you struggling w health and especially epilepsy 💗🙏

I am very interested in nutrition to support our bodies ability to heal itself from chronic disease! My son has epilepsy. I recall first neurologist said magnesium used to be used to treat epilepsy before there were so many meds. Please keep us posted on what you learn and please share what hospital and doctor you see. I have always given by son a mag supplement… most recently L Theonate as it was labeled for cognition. The gut is our “second brain” it very much affects our brain. Constipation is not good for many reasons. A simple drink mix called Calm is magnesium glycinate helps keep you regular (better to do natural remedy than miralax etc). I’m not an expert, but I research nutrition as a hobby and if my children would change their diets and hydrate w water, I believe they would not suffer near as much with their many issues. Processed foods and sugar/high fructose corn syrup are the root of Americans health problems. Blessings to all!
