Hyperactivity. Fidgeting. Inattention. Impulsivity. If your child has one or more of these qualities on a regular basis, you may be told that he or she has attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. If so, they'd be among about 10 percent of children in the United States.
Kids with ADHD can be restless and difficult to handle. Many of them are treated with drugs, but a new study says food may be the key. Published in The Lancet journal, the study suggests that with a very restrictive diet, kids with ADHD could experience a significant reduction in symptoms.
The disorder is triggered in many cases by external factors — and those can be treated through changes to one's environment. ADHD is usually just a couple symptons, not a disease. When a child is diagnosed with ADHD the reaction should be, "ok we have these symptoms, now let's look for a cause."
In many cases the cause is a sensitivity to food. By starting kids on an elaborate diet and restricting it over the course of 4-6 weeks, you will be able to identify which foods are causing the problems. Once these foods are identified and eliminated, differences are unbelievable. Kids have seen improvements in behavior, no more temper tantrums. They are able to focus and learn better and aren't as easily distracted. This might be an idea to test out or run past your family doctor if you are constantly seeing these symptoms in your children.
