This is extremely important research that discusses the use of topiramate, drug name “Topamax”, can lead to elevated oxalates and kidney stones. Topiramate is often prescribed for young children and for long term use.
We know that Oxalates create a potential risk for seizures. We also know that the ketogenic diet is often recommended to children and youth with retractable seizures. The high fat content, if not absorbed and assimilated well, can contribute to kidney stones. This author can only presume that the combination ketogenic diet with topiramate may be a toxic consideration for many individuals experiencing seizures.
Please refer to my other blog articles regarding the dangers of oxalates and the recorded webinar.

Toxic levels of Oxalates can lead to central nervous system depression and seizures.
