Yeah, it's kind of strange since folic acid has been shown to augment lithium. It could be an interaction with the ability of lamotrigine to inhibit sodium channels.
But, I would tend to agree that folate intake from foods probably results in lower serum folate and is probably absorbed a bit more slowly.
However, you could try to isolate certain foods to see. It may be a separate reaction allergy (although I'm not really up on food reactions / sensitivities).
