This is exactly what happened to my mum, a week ago. She was prescribed
Dilantin for a gluten reaction she had at Xmas after drinking alcohol. My
brother doesn't know about the celiac/epilepsy connection so she is going
to neurologists for no reason!!!
I threw out the pills; the side effects are an arm long, including
osteoporosis which she has and autoimmune diseases, liver cancer etc.- plus
she doesn't need them.
Please help me. What can I say to convince my brother she just needs to be
gluten free and alcohol free?

All the best,
Susan
