Do you see any meaningful change in symptoms while in a fasted state?

As in, 36 hours+ without food (just water, electrolytes if you want), do the symptoms improve or worsen?

I've never tried a fasted state like that unfortunately so I couldn't say.

My pediatric neurologist at the time actually suggested trying some wine (with adult supervision of course) because some people seemingly respond well to that. But I've of course tried all kinds of alcohol by now years later and none seem to do the trick.

Another doctor more recently also suggested trying CBD (non THC) but no obvious improvement from that either, although I really only ever tried one type of CBD supplement and maybe it wasn't the right dosage.
