I Have Nausea And Constipation. No Vomiting. I Am Lucky To Get One Meal Down Before I Feel Sick. Yet My Stomach Hurts And Says Feed Me.

A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭
MCCORMICK, SC

My head has been hurting today. I woke up with that, tried to eat breakfast, then got sick. Nausea, but no vomiting. Gas but also constipation. Cannot see a doctor until next week. Yet my husband thinks I am being lazy. I think I am going to tell my son. No high blood pressure yet, but usually that happens also. Would you try to be patient with your husband or go to your son for help?

Does anyone have any advice about the kinds of food or drinks to have following a seizure or a period of zoning?

Anyone Notice Any Food Triggers (allergy Or Non-allergy)?

A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭
Orlando, FL

Knowing what triggers are really help with coping with epilepsy. Surely I avoid them best I can... but think I'm still musing a lot of them.

What are some of yours?

I know persevatives, additives, excess caffeine and heavily vibegared food are the biggest for me.

I do have a citrus intolerance (mainly with lemon) that makes me dizzy and very sleepy.

Eggs seem to bother me but not allergic.

Foods with high fat like hamburger (restaurants never seem to bother me, guessing cause they… read more

Can People Enlighten Me In Regards To Keto Diet

A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭
Canberra, AU

My neurologist has suggested this diet. He told me I have 2 choices. Changes in medications or Keto. He has also suggested that the modified Atkins diet is a choice because it gives some leeway
I have started the Keto diet but I’m confused. I have read so much about it I’m overloaded
I honestly don’t know if I’m doing it right.
I generally don’t have breakfast. I was just drinking a glass of milk then I found out no dairy only cheese cream yoghurt? If at work I will have lunch which has… read more
