What should people with epilepsy pay attention to regarding food?

Patient's question:

The neighbor's child suffers from epilepsy. There is only this one child in the family, and they are very fond of him. They are also unwilling to add a younger brother or sister to the family. The family members often ask me what to do. What dietary precautions should be taken for this child?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, epilepsy patients should avoid foods that may trigger seizures. "Foods that may exacerbate conditions" such as mutton, dog meat, rooster, wild duck, and crucian carp should not be consumed in excess; smoking, strong alcohol, strong tea, and coffee should be strictly prohibited; spicy seasonings such as pepper, chili, mustard, scallions, and garlic should also be limited appropriately.
