Can Gatorade cause seizure?

Everyone's body is different. Some have found the drink had a calming affect on their seizures. It is possible that they had an electrolyte imbalance which reduced their seizure threshold and the drink helped to settle that imbalance. It may simply be a fix for a dehydration issue which could also have been a seizure trigger. I would be very cautious about this drink if artificial colors are a seizure trigger for a given individual. I would also be concerned if sugar was a trigger. The drink has plenty of both substances and many seizure disorder sufferers are set off by artificial color and sugar.

These include the ketogenic diet, VNS, and surgery.
