So I've been reading a lot of how bad soy is for your body. I've been vegetarian for over 8 years, so I consume a lot of soy. I've been wanting to stop this, but I'm not sure what to do. I eat fish, so I'm not technically vegetarian (to me you're either veg or you're not, there's no in-between lacto-ovo, pescatarian, etc.).
Anyway, I have simple partial seizures that are about 80% controlled on Lamictal XR 100mg. I am seeing my neuro next week hoping to increase it and see if that works totally. I have only had one supposed grand-mal but I was alone so we can't be sure.
I feel like my epilepsy is pretty mild in the grand scheme of things. So would modifying my diet really be that important? I get my produce from a local CSA (community supported agriculture) so I eat a variety of fruits and vegetables. I eat almost entirely whole grains, natural cheese, fresh caught (aka not farmed) fish, and organic omega-3 eggs. I cook all sorts of things for myself. But a lot of it is made with tofu or tempeh. Should I stop eating them? Do you think it's a big deal? I also take B complex supplements, if that makes a difference.
Are there any other vegetarians or partial vegetarians with epilepsy?
Thanks!
