Robin,

I'm not aware of any prior damage to my colon or intestines but I will check into it further, besides, I think my epilepsy is hereditary and triggered by stress, my sister has it really bad and out of control.
Her first seizure (granmal in 1972) was when she was 13yo and her first period (that was her trigger).
Back then there wasn't that much known about EP so it was handled by her family Dr. and he ended up overdosing her on dilantin and for such a long period of time that it caused permanent severe brain damage ~ she is now mentally retarded.
