What Causes Intermittent Diarrhea While On Aptiom For Seizures?
My daughter who is 46 is taking aptiom and levitracetam for seizures. Ever since she has been taking the aptiom she has had bowel problems...hurry up and go, but never makes it to the toilet, or diaheria off and on. She tried the brad diet and that worked . We thought dairy might be a problem, but no dairy now and still has issues...

1. Diarrhea with aptiom [eslicarbazepine acetate] is one of the Common side effect of the drug, so best is to get further advice from your doctor.
2. since dairy products are not the cause thus avoid spicy foods, fruits, alcohol, and caffeine,avoid chewing gum that contains sorbitol, take more of probiotics like cheese or yogurt
