Patient's question:
My son recently developed epilepsy and is currently hospitalized in the hospital. I would like to ask what dietary precautions he should take on a daily basis, what he should mainly eat, and what he should avoid eating? Also, epilepsy is not a lifelong condition, is it? Can it improve on its own?Doctor's answer:
Dietary nutrition for epilepsy follows the principles of tonifying the kidneys and boosting yang, promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, strengthening the spleen and dispelling cold, and regulating the functions of the viscera, thereby enhancing nutrient absorption and improving clinical efficacy. In terms of diet, it is recommended to consume foods high in protein, energy, and the B vitamin complex, while moderately supplementing with various trace elements. To achieve ideal results in the treatment of epilepsy, dietary regulation must be paid close attention to, as it can effectively assist in the treatment of epilepsy. Generally, as age increases, the condition may disappear or alleviate.
