Can diet effectively treat childhood seizures?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not usually: Most seizure disorders require effective anti-convulsant medications. Diet changes usually do not prevent seizures, and can lead to nutritional deficiencies. Always check with your doctor before putting any child on a restrictive diet.
