Check out the LGIT (low glycemic index treatment), aka "the south beach diet". It's a more relaxed low-carb diet (80g/day), which has shown similar efficacy to keto for seizure control. It makes it much easier to feel somewhat normal at restaurants and the dinner table when out with people.

One interesting thing about these low-carb diet therapies is that they can result in long-term seizure control even after discontinuing the diet. They are worth trying imo. However, I'll personally attest to the fact that they are not a silver bullet.
