Hi Malka,
I've seen seizures after feeds, but only in babies post-surgery following a Nissen fundoplication or suchlike. It was associated with dumping syndrome or hyperglycaemia. Here's an ancient case report which talk about the mechanisms: http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1440-1754.1994.tb00607.x/abstract If there were some sort of physical defect in the gut, it might mimic this syndrome.
Cheers,
Miranda
