My 12 year-old son, Max has been suffering from seizures for almost 2 years. We started by going the traditional medical route - e.g., EEGs, MRIs, hospitalization with VideoEEG. Although he was diagnosed with Epilepsy, no cause was found. His neurologist prescribed Trileptal but increasing doses did not stop the seizures. Max experienced side effects, which made concentration and memory tasks more difficult. Doing my own research and carefully observing Max, I learned that excitotoxins (e.g., Aspartame and MSG) contributed to his seizures. After allergy testing, we gradually eliminated all processed foods, artificial colors and flavors, dairy, gluten, yeast, corn, and soy. These foods have a high glutamate content. It's been very tough on Max but we have been able to decrease his seizures while decreasing his meds. With the aid of a complimentary physician Max takes a plethora of vitamins and minerals, which are known to be anti-seizure agents. However, the seizures are not gone and I'm looking for a neurologist (or other medical expert) who recognizes the impact of diet on seizures. We live in the New York metropolitan area. Can anyone help?
