Consider a ketogenic diet To help reduce seizures in children, consult a specialist trained in initiating and supervising this special diet.
Try the Atkins diet Some epileptics have become seizure-free on the Atkins diet, which is similar to the ketogenic diet but is easier to follow, as it allows more protein and has fewer calorie restrictions.
