A member asked:
I have a twelve year old daughter who may have juvenile myoclonic epilepsy, does what she eat have anything to do with her developing this condition? and if she does have it do i have to change her eating habits?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No need to change: Jme is a very common and fairly benign form of epilepsy. Good health habits are important. Good sleep patterns, good exercise habits, and good nutrition habits. No special diet or restrictions other than good common sense.
