i hear dairy free works well. my son has a milk allergy, so he cannot have dairy, but i think if he did, he would be much worse. I would go with that, but to warn you. its a tough one.
good luck

We've been using the Feingold Diet for over a year with great results.

Thanks Guys, I Really Need To Try Something Along With His Meds. I Want To At Least Be Able To Say I've Tried Everything For His Sake

I appreciate your thoughts. We have tried multiple treatments, diets, etc. before seeking medication. Just as Dr. Russell Barkely touts, after all is said and done, eighty percent of people with ADHD need to be on medication. We've seen small improvements with our daughter's symptoms with several things we've tried, but the end result is still a 6 year old with major problems with distractibility, impulsivity and social skills.

I Hear Ya, We Have A SevenYearOld, And I'm Starting To Finally Find The Strength To Accept Him For Who He Is, And Maybe Lower My Standards A Tad In The Discipline Aspect. I Find Myself Focusing To Much On Trying To Straighten Him Up, Instead Of Realizing He Can't control His Impulses.Its Tough Because I Won't Accept Disrespect. I Feel Comfort Knowing I'm Not Alone Out There. I Feel There's No One Stronger Than Adhd Parents, Just Wish There Was More Out There That Connected Us, I Feel Gathering With Others In The Same Situation Could Really Help.

First let me say, I am not a doctor so consult your physician.

I had problems finding a balance for my sons diet. He was diagnosed with ADHD when he was seven. I have tried many forms of different diets and as you may guess I found the best one to be your typical healthy diet. Fresh fruits and veges, whole grains, very little sugar. We also began to consult with a Naturalist healer rather than a Eastern Medicine doctor who just seemed to want to throw new drugs at us every time we encountered a new problem. In addition to his healthy diet we both now take a health food supplement recommended by our Nutritionist. Its high in Omegas, Phenylethylamine, Beta-carotene. It seemed to help with my overall health and mood and it had definately helped my son to stay more focused and have less temper tantrums. I highly recommend anyone with ADHD to ask their doctor about it. Here is a link so you can read more if you like.

Northcali awsome Info Thanks, Glad To Hear It's Working For You Guys.

Eat a high-protein diet, including beans, cheese, eggs, meat, and nuts. Add protein foods in the morning and for after-school snacks, to improve concentration and possibly increase the time ADHD medications work.
