What are the dietary taboos for people with epilepsy?

Patient's question:

The child was diagnosed with epilepsy two years ago. During episodes, they experience and excessive salivation. Over the past two years, we have been treating the condition, and it has become less frequent now. I would like to know if there are any dietary restrictions for epilepsy patients.

Doctor's answer:

There is nothing to worry about in terms of diet. Epilepsy is caused by abnormal discharges in the brain, leading to symptoms such as convulsions and petit mal seizures. The treatment method involves taking oral medication in a timely manner to control clinical symptoms. It can also be treated through oral Chinese medicine and the method of implanting needles.
We know that pediatric epilepsy can cause significant harm to children. If it is not treated promptly or if the treatment method is incorrect, its progression can be rapid, bringing great harm to the child. Therefore, parents should pay close attention to their child's condition and seek timely treatment.
