[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Cut out gluten and dairy and all processed foods. Nothing in a box, can or bag, EVER! It is hard to do at first, but works. Also buy Nordic Naturals (DHA & EPA kids supplement sold at Whole Foods) and try to give lots of blueberries. Take child to a naturopathic doctor. Medication is totally unnecessary in most cases. ADHD is a food and/or environmental allergy. Also get the naturopathic doctor to do a delayed allergen blood test (IgG food intolerance test) through Neuroscience Labs and cut out everything in the moderate and/or severe category when you get the results. Follow these steps and you will have a new child trust me[/quote] +1 Really great advice. We did all of this, and got rid of sugar as much as possible (substituted fresh and frozen fruit for sweet things). We go to a nutritionist and [b]an integrative medicine doctor[/b], who administered the food intolerance test. It's so, so hard to cut out all the processed foods, but stick with it, and you will see a huge difference in your child. You can do challenge trials to see which foods on the food intolerance list seem to affect your child the most, and cut those out. DD can't tolerate raspberries for some reason! But some other things on the food intolerance list (like pork) don't seem to affect her. My child has never been medicated, and is now a great student, great attention, also an athlete (swimming was great for us). Find a sport your child loves, and that will help a lot. Good luck, OP. [/quote] Are there Integrative Medicine Pediatricians? I used to go to an Integrative Internist myself back when I lived in CO but never thought about it for pediatrics.[/quote]
