No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about the low glycemic index diet in pregnant people with epilepsy. The main questions it aims to answer are:

* Is the low glycemic index tolerable in pregnant people with epilepsy?
* Does the low glycemic index alter seizure frequency in pregnant people with epilepsy?
* Does the low glycemic index alter the gut bacteria \& associated metabolic pathways in pregnant people with epilepsy? Participants will start the low glycemic index diet during pregnancy and will provide stool and blood samples a maximum of 3 times during study duration. Researchers will compare pregnant people with epilepsy on the diet to pregnant people with epilepsy not on a structured diet plan to see if tolerability, seizure frequency, and gut bacteria composition \& metabolites differ.
