Regulate meal times and patterns around sleep, activity, and medication schedules. Usually taking medicines after food or around meals makes it easier to remember them and may lessen any stomach distress from side effects of medicines. Have a well-balanced diet and eat at consistent times to avoid long periods without food. If your appetite is poor, try small frequent meals instead of skipping meals. Avoid foods and drinks that may aggravate seizures. Not everyone is sensitive to foods, but if you are, talk to your doctor about how to modify your diet. If you are following a diet specifically for your epilepsy, be sure to follow the advice of your doctor and nutritionist.
