Nutrition/diet based Epilepsy Dr's ?

Fri, 05/12/2017 - 23:13
Anyone know of any doctors that use nutrition/diet to treat epilepsy? The doc I have now doesn't know of any links between epilepsy and diet!!! I want to try to root cause my triggers and get off the meds. My seizures started 3 years ago and I get 1-2 a year. So far dehydration appears to be a factor. The last couple I had was after I started eating a bunch of foods with free glutamate and aspartame. Didn't know that was bad until I started doing a little research.
