Epileptic seizures can actually result in physical injuries like broken bones, but I hear that the Keto diet can be used to treat these people.
Seizures can be pretty horrible to experience as well as to watch.
I guess if the keto diet can be used to treat difficult to control epilepsy in kids that I'd be willing to try it if it was a struggle for me or my family.
I am not familiar with Keto diet. Sounds interesting. I had a relative that had seizures.
It's basically a high-fat, adequate protein, low carb diet - it forces the body to burn fat rather than carbs - and it's helped a lot of epileptic kids
I like protein diets. Low card is sometimes tough for me to folllow.
I'm not exactly sure why they use it to treat seizures since they tend to recur and have no immediate underlying cause -perhaps the extra fat helps.
THat would be frustrating not knowing when they are coming or for how long they last.
And depending on how severe it is, people even experience varying degrees of social stigma due to it.
