Atkins diet for seizures is a way out!
Please share
your experience
Yes it's being seven years as at the time of this writing, we were
able to observe that there were days we are seizure free and all of a
sudden we just have seizures even without messing with the medication,
that tells us the medications are not really curing seizures but just
suppressing them.
Then we had to ask ourselves what was the last thing
we did that may trigger the seizure for from our readings we had
learnt that some things do trigger seizures even if we use the
medications. We had some lists of suspicious food and some activities
if performed that actually triggered seizures.

In between when these observation and also since it is certain
that these medication are of not too good for a child we asked for Ketogenic
diet because we were not aware of Atkins diet but we were denied of it and they
never made mention of option of Atkins Diet. But we finally knew that part of
what triggered seizures is food that was eaten.
By the time we were sure of what Atkins diet was, we could see
that part of the food were those heavy in carbohydrates and low carbohydrate
diet is part of Atkins diet for seizures hence we are so optimistic! So far
these foods have being dropped from diet and anything sugary, anything that
triggers seizure is we trying to see if a type of food is in the NO list and we
get answer when the episode occurs. It is not quite easy avoiding all of these
foods but we have to do what we have to do to give our child a Life.
