Eating bread, especially soft bread, is known to lead to seizures. An improperly functioning ileocecal valve is a possible cause. This permits powerful toxins to enter the blood stream and affect the delicate nervous system and brain. There is a tendency to sleep following the attack. Sometimes attacks occur only during sleep.
Some seizures take the form of antisocial or unnatural conduct.
On recovery, amnesia is generally complete, so no effort is made to hide what happened. The epileptic may gradually deteriorate. During the attack, arrange the head to facilitate breathing. Prevent the tongue from being bitten or from obstructing the windpipe. Place a pad between the teeth during the attack.
