Epilepsy Articles January 2021

EWCT brings you the latest news on epilepsy-related articles

  1. Just as epilepsy affects us all differently, it can impact men in ways that are different
    from women’s experience. It can also change throughout a person’s life, from childhood
    through adulthood. This fact sheet is designed to help men understand better how
    seizures can impact on their life and ways to manage.

  2. Specialised diets can help seizure control. For those suffering from celiac disease and
    epilepsy, the gluten-free diet may effectively reduce seizure frequency and, in some
    cases stop them altogether especially if the diet is started in childhood. Likewise, the
    ketogenic diet can successfully control seizures for those with intractable epilepsy.
    Conversations around epilepsy and diets must be discussed with your medical
    specialists.
