    My mom has epilepsy. PLEASE go to the doctor ASAP and get yourself checked out. Stay away from WebMD and sites like that...they will drive you absolutely crazy! Make sure you're eating enough, and relax until you can get yourself checked out!
    You're not considered epileptic until you have more than one seizure.

    Sorry to hear about your seizures; they can stir a lot of fear. You're doing the right thing to see a doctor. He or she might refer you to a neurologist, and they'll probably want to run some tests (an EEG, probably). Don't be afraid. I have epilepsy and haven't had a seizure for years, but I take my medication daily, without fail. Not sure about a diet connection. Alcohol is never good for people who suffer from a seizure disorder, but I don't have any experience with weight loss and seizures. Hang in there. Maybe some anti-stress techniques would help, too.
