Seizures Around Mealtime

Charleston, SC

I have no idea why, but I tend to have seizures when I eat. Does anyone else have this issue? Is it strange or common?

I have found more and more that there may be a link to hypoglycemia and diabetes as it relates to epilepsy. Diabetes runs in my family. However, my brother, my sister and I have been diagnosed with hypoglycemia. Hypoglycemia is often a leading stage to diabetes.

@A MyEpilepsyTeam Member I have been in an epilepsy monitoring unit on three different occasions. Each time I have eaten spicy food and a seizure is shortly induced. This is a day or so after reducing my medicine and/or deprivation of sleep.

Very interesting. Spicy food. I'll try and take note of what I eat.
