Protein powder can be taken for symptomatic epilepsy, but it should be taken as prescribed by your doctor.
A normal diet does not usually result in a protein deficiency, so there is no need for additional supplementation. If a person with symptomatic epilepsy also has a protein deficiency, he or she may choose to take protein powder as a supplement, but should be careful to follow the doctor’s instructions.
Because protein metabolites need to be excreted through the kidneys, excessive consumption of protein powder will increase the burden on the kidneys and may cause kidney damage.
Therefore, it is recommended that if people with symptomatic epilepsy need to take protein powder, they should be regulated under the guidance of a doctor, so as not to bring adverse effects on the body.
