Grain Brain?

A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭
Boston, MA

I’m reading the book grain brain by Dr. Perlmutter. He’s a neurologist and a health doctor although he talks about other health issues, he mentions epilepsy a lot, and the benefits of a grain free diet on seizures. I’ve done MAD before and I have seen benefits but after moving I know longer had the support and it was hard for me to stick to. I’m curious about if others use grain free and their thoughts or if others I have read this book.

Yes, I don’t mean quitting meds. I’ve noticed when I’ve reduced my grains my brain fog reduces too. When I did MAD a long time ago there was not as much out there to help. So it might be easier to help with my journey and worth it.

I don't think she means quitting meds and turning to a grain-based diet. I think it's more about meds + the additions of a grain-based diet.
