Epileptic seizures can actually result in physical injuries like broken bones, but I hear that the Keto diet can be used to treat these people.
Seizures can be pretty horrible to experience as well as to watch.
I guess if the keto diet can be used to treat difficult to control epilepsy in kids that I'd be willing to try it if it was a struggle for me or my family.
I am not familiar with Keto diet. Sounds interesting. I had a relative that had seizures.
It's basically a high-fat, adequate protein, low carb diet - it forces the body to burn fat rather than carbs - and it's helped a lot of epileptic kids

THat would be frustrating not knowing when they are coming or for how long they last.
varying degrees of social stigma due to their condition.
The cause of most cases of epilepsy is unknown. Some cases occur as the result of brain injury, stroke, brain tumors, infections of the brain, and birth defects through a process known as epileptogenesis. Known genetic mutations are directly linked to a small proportion of cases. Epileptic seizures are the result of excessive and abnormal neuronal activity in the cortex of the brain. The diagnosis involves ruling out other conditions that might cause similar symptoms, such as fainting, and
Epilepsy
Epilepsy is a group of neurological disorders characterized by epileptic seizures. Epileptic seizures are episodes that can vary from brief and nearly undetectable periods to long periods of vigorous shaking. These episodes can result in physical injuries, including occasionally broken bones. In epilepsy, seizures tend to recur and, as a rule, have no immediate underlying cause. Isolated seizures that are provoked by a specific cause such as poisoning are not deemed to represent epilepsy. People with epilepsy may be treated differently in various areas of the world and experience
