Hello! I read your question and understand your concern. There are some types of food I would recommend to avoid like: caffeine and alcohol and high carbohydrates food like desserts, chocolate and pasta. I would also recommend you to avoid smoking and sleep deprivation. There is a specific diet called ketogenic diet which has shown very good results in drug resistent seizures in young patients. But it may not be well tolerated in some patients. It should be given under the doctor supervision. It consist of high fat and protein food and it is poor in carbohydrates. Hope to have been of help! Greetings! Dr. Abaz Quka
