The importance of maintaining gut health and the role played by a compromised gastrointestinal (GI) system in leading to a whole host of medical conditions cannot be overstated.  Further, imbalances in intestinal microbial flora can also produce seizures. The condition is known as “abdominal epilepsy” and it occurs due to the gut-brain connection. Abdominal epilepsy occurs when an unhealthy microbial environment in the gut creates toxins that cross into the brain. In addition, sections of the intestine known as Peyer's patch, where the gut connects with the lymphatic system, are closely associated with nerve bundles and fibers directly connected with the brain, so intestinal irritation may result in seizures via this pathway. Many veterinarians misdiagnose and so do not treat this type of seizure because rather than looking in the gut, they only look at the patient “from the neck up.” If a dog suffers from seizures in combination with　lucrative colitis, manic itching or GI trouble (e.g., constipation and/or diarrhea) he may have abdominal epilepsy.
