The keto diet was developed just for this purpose (epilepsy). My son’s neurologist had several kids who only did the diet, no meds. He supported them. My son started keto about 5 years ago and has not had a seizure since. He has been able to dial back to the lowest dose of seizure med and could probably come off completely but his neurologist now (adult) encouraged him to stay on a low dose

That’s great! How old was your son when he started having seizures? I didn’t know about the diet helping epilepsy until now.

Possible therapeutic uses for the ketogenic diet have been studied for many additional neurological disorders, some of which include: Alzheimer’s disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, headache, neurotrauma, pain, Parkinson’s disease, and sleep disorders.[6]
