[quote=Anonymous]If you're reluctant to start meds (or even if you're not), I would recommend checking out any possible allergies or anything dietary that might be shifting what's going on in his gut. 90% of the seratonin in our bodies is created in the gut. My son (AuDHD) suddenly started getting all kinds of GI issues when he was around 11, and we just tried taking him off dairy on a lark, and it made a HUGE difference for him. You can actually do a blood test for most food allergies. Often that kind of irritability is driven by something physiological, so good to start there. And also work to get him on your team -- you can validate that he feels bad and you want to help him figure out what's going on, and find ways for him to feel better overall.[/quote]
