Epilepsy is a chronic disease in which you or your child suffer from recurring seizures. These seizures are caused by a disorder in the brain. They range from brief loss of attention or muscle twitching to seizures.

In most cases, epilepsy can be easily treated with medication. We call these medications anti-epileptics. Sometimes these medications have no effect. In that case, the treating doctor or dietitian may consider a ketogenic diet.

Ketogenic diet
With a ketogenic diet, you or your child will consume a lot of fats and few carbohydrates. This is how the body thinks it is fasting. The ketogenic diet causes the body to produce ketones. The brain gets energy from these ketones (and not from glucose, as is the case without the diet). This can affect the seizures.

There are different forms of a ketogenic diet. Ask your doctor or dietitian if you or your child are suitable for a ketogenic diet.

It is important that you or your child strictly follows the recommended ketogenic diet. Therefore, always pay close attention to what you or your child eats. Nutricia has various medical foods that can be used within the ketogenic diet.
