Patient's question:
My friend's child has been suffering from epilepsy for two years. The doctor said it is primary epilepsy, and they have been relying on taking Depakote oral liquid to control the condition. In the past, there were frequent relapses, but now the number of relapses has significantly decreased. It is said that the diet of epilepsy patients also needs to be paid close attention to, but due to a lack of technology in this area, the family wants to understand how to adjust the diet plan again.Doctor's answer:
This child with primary epilepsy needs to pay special attention to their diet. Meals should be regular, avoiding both excessive hunger or fullness. It is advisable to consume a variety of foods, focusing on nutrient-rich and easily digestible options such as bread, beans, lean meat, eggs, fish, and milk. In particular, it is important to eat more beans, fresh vegetables, and fruits, while minimizing the intake of greasy and rich foods such as goose meat and mutton. Avoid foods that are highly, such as chili peppers, onions, and garlic. Additionally, excessive consumption should be avoided.
