Patient's question:
My son has been complaining of stomach pain this month, not being able to eat, and having restless sleep. Sometimes he suddenly experiences stomach pain and becomes unclear-minded, but he comes to his senses quickly after a moment. I searched online for a long time and think it's very similar to abdominal epilepsy syndrome, so I want to confirm it. What are the symptoms of abdominal epilepsy syndrome?Doctor's answer:
① Maintain a regular lifestyle, rest on time, and ensure adequate sleep to avoid staying up late, fatigue, etc. Avoid prolonged TV watching or video game playing.② Eat a light diet, consume more vegetables and fruits, and avoid stimulant beverages and foods such as coffee, cola, and spicy foods.
