Patient's question:
Do people with epilepsy need to avoid certain foods in their diet? If they eat some stimulating foods, will it affect their normal physiological functions and then trigger seizures? I would like to ask what foods should epilepsy patients avoid? Are there any good treatment methods that you can recommend?Doctor's answer:
If you have epilepsy, it is not recommended to drink strong tea, coffee, smoke, drink alcohol, eat spicy and irritating foods, or seafood. These two groups of people should always maintain regular bowel habits, avoid extreme hunger or fullness, and ensure a diversified diet. Focus on eating nutrient-rich and easily digestible foods, which can include high-protein and phospholipid-rich foods. This is beneficial for the complete recovery of brain function and may increase the frequency of recurrence.
