Epilepsy keto diet issues/questions
So my fiancee has epilepsy, autonomic dysfunction, and pots. Her doctor recently requested that she be put on the medical keto diet because recently she's been having more frequent auras and a seizure or two while she sleeps at night over the span of like 6 months. Problem is on this diet she's severely struggling to intake everything she needs in order to not lose weight which she can't lose weight with her other medical issues... A little background for her is 4.5 years ago she had a 16 hour long seizure in which she lost the previous year of memory but since then has made massive improvements up to the point of being able to get her license back.
I'm asking if anyone else on the medical keto diet has any advice about how strict it has to be with carbs or if there are any alternatives outside of the keto diet and If you can still have success and improvement with epilepsy while still in taking small amounts of carbs?
