What do you need to know about changing a diet? During this edition, you will also learn about various aspects that can be a challenge while changing a diet such as family involvement, kitchen utensils, food ingredients and navigating the dynamics when there are other people in the home who are not on a special diet. For example, what happens when your other kids are having cookies, which the child with epilepsy cannot have?
There are techniques that Arlene discusses regarding how she coped with the sudden changes that occurred in Adam’s journey towards a seizure-free life. Adam has now been free of seizures for over 10 years.
