Patients with epilepsy should pay attention to a proper diet and adequate nutrition. Because the use of antiepileptic drugs in treatment may have an impact on the digestive system, leading to a lack of nutrients or metabolic disorders, such as vitamin B6, vitamin K, folic acid, calcium, magnesium and other elements. The use of antiepileptic drugs may affect the digestive system and lead to nutrient deficiencies or metabolic disorders, such as lack of vitamin B6, vitamin K, folic acid, calcium and magnesium. Some irritating foods, such as ginger, onion, garlic and chili, should be eaten sparingly. Although Chinese medicine has a long history of treating epilepsy, there is no clear evidence that Chinese medicine can control epilepsy as stably as western medicine, not to mention the risk of toxic side effects from long-term use of Chinese medicine. The use of “Western” anti-epileptic drugs for epilepsy is the standard treatment for epilepsy recognized by international medicine. The patient with epilepsy should control the intake of water and salt. Patients with epilepsy should not be too hungry or too full, and should not overeat. Excessive hunger lowers blood sugar levels, and hypoglycemia often induces seizures; and being too full can also induce seizures; patients should use excitatory drinks sparingly; these drinks may contain caffeine can excite brain cells, abnormal discharge and make seizures.
