Patient's question:
What is a prescription for treating epilepsy? I met a good friend online and we had a great conversation. I was going to meet her, but she said she was not suitable for marriage because she suffers from epilepsy. I want to know what benefits the epilepsy diet has for her. I want to take good care of what kind of epilepsy diet is better.Doctor's answer:
The diet of epilepsy patients should be as diverse as possible. They should consume more nutritious and easily digestible foods such as noodles, beans, lean meat, eggs, fish, and milk, especially foods rich in protein and phospholipids, fresh vegetables, fruits, and dairy products, which are beneficial for the complete recovery of brain function and may increase the frequency of seizures. Epilepsy patients should increase their intake of magnesium. Epilepsy patients often lack magnesium, especially those who require long-term medication, such as those who take phenytoin long-term, which can easily lead to osteoporosis.
