I started having grand mal seizures when I was a pre-teen. I haven't had one in around thirty years (I'm 62). My symtoms were about the same. Strobe lights will set one off. I had one once while riding in a car on a sunny day and the flickering of the sun through the trees triggered one.
I am on Dilantin and have been since I was diagnosed. BTW... old time family Dr. that came to the house in the middle of the night the first time I had one diagnosed it. I had a tiny scar on my brain. Last time I had an EEG they didn't see anything.
It was pretty bad being a kid in a tiny town where everybody knows everything, but things are different now. Much more is known and anti-seizure drugs really do work.. Find the right Doctor and get meds.
I'm assuming you don't drink too much because of the IBS. Drinking isn't the best idea for Epilepsy.
Take care....
