What Can Cause A Seizure Followed By Severe Stomach Ache And Hunger?
My daughter has her first seizure ever, in a family with no history of seizures. She had three more in a row today. Each one was proceeded by extreme stomach pain, and feelings of hunger, then onset of convulsions. Full rigidity, extreme lethargy afterwards.

Hello,
There may be a treatable cause which can be checked for at the hospital through blood-work and imaging studies of the brain. They may also choose to do a lumbar puncture and culture the fluid to be sure she doesn't have a spinal fluid infection(meningitis).
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
