Does Eliminating Gluten Improve Seizures?
Has anyone tried a gluten-free diet? I have read that there is a connection between celiac disease (which my mom had) and epilepsy (which she also had). I don't know if anyone else has celiac too, or has explored whether eliminating gluten improves seizures?
I am and it helps alot. I has tyroid issues so breads and things are not good for me.
Thanks so much - I've tried so many meds, now I am looking to making dietary changes to see of that helps (not going off meds but they haven't worked so I'm looking into other options too).
I have had celiac disease for about 15 years and have a fully Gluten free diet. I have had uncontrolled seizures regardless of my Celiac's flaring up or not. I wouldn't think that the two have any connection since when I was a baby I also had uncontrolled seizures but ate Gluten then.
Really? My neurologist never told me that - I've been a vegetarian for almost 20 years.
Being a vegetarian is definitely NOT recommended for epilepsy
Would You Say Your Condition Is Controlled For The Most Part, And Do You Have One Of Your Seizures Or Such Etc Come To You Out Of The Blue?
Definite Food Triggers Anyone??
