Where they can't have certain foods?

No, because my son is oppositional and won't eat 99% of most things. I read a scientific article (can't remember the title) that diets, granted that you can even get your child to eat certain foods, might improve it...but not to the extent medicine will. This doesn't work on my son who is severly ADHD and won't eat most foods.

Yes, My grandson is on a sugar free diet and takes the Attentive child supplement. There is some slight improvement. I felt it was worth the try.

what is the attentive child supplement?
deleted_user
My child is on a sugar free and non dye diet.He is also on sugar free vitamns and a supplment. I have had him this way for two years. I have done this instead of medicine. My own choice. It has worked out for me extremely well. I am not saying we dont have some bad days as he is still a growiing child in need of directions, and what child likes to be direct when they are in a mind set mood. There is alot of information on the web that can give you some insight on the diet plan if you wish to pursue it. It is a process and takes alot of patience but in turn has great results. At least it has for me. Attentive Child is a dietary supplement sold in health food stores. It enhances mental concentration. http://www.feingold.org/ may be useful to you. Good Luck!

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
