I've had epilepsy since 1975. In all those years I never noticed any type of trigger from foods! My triggers I knew very very well. I was very light sensitive so everything in that area brought on seizures for me. As well as stress and not enough sleep each day. Breathing hard usually brought on seizures for me also. So, I knew when I was doing any of those things, LOOK OUT! Oh my gosh I can't tell you how many seizures I had while playing tennis (big smile) over the years with so any different people. Sometimes they came, sometimes they didn't. Its just when involved in one of those triggers, I knew very well that I was increasing the chance of a seizure. But hey, I learned my seizures come, my seizures go as I live my normal life (smile)! Take care, keep a smile on your face!
