Research on diets to help epilepsy is being done. What they have found in some cases is that a ketogenic diet can help. This is a high fat diet. A high fat diet for kids with epilepsy can stop seizure activity. This is important because medications don’t always work with kids. They are continually growing, their body chemistry changes, and sometimes they forget to take their medication when it’s left up to them. A high fat diet can make the body utilize fat for energy which means that any sugars eaten go to the brain. This helps the brain stop epileptic activity.
