I have a three year old that I'm pretty certain may be diagnosed with ADHD at some point. I have heard of additives in food that can cause problems with hyperactivity. I haven't done much research on it yet, but I have heard of the Feingold diet. There's a cookbook at the library I was going to check into. I personally have noticed a difference after she eats certain foods. It may be worth checking with a dietician. Food may be one small piece of the puzzle, but it still may be an important piece to look at.
I can tell you this, we will look at food and behavior techniques before we put her on medication. Medication will be only a last resort if needed.
I wish you the best and if you find out anything that helps you, please let me know.
P.S. I asked Mamapedia if there would be a way to have groups on here for Moms who have frequent questions regarding the same subject matter. It would be a great place for all of us with children of ADHD to connect and help each other.
