Change in Diet?

[Guest guest]

I'm sure this has been visited once before but I can't seem to find related

posts on this when searching the archives. I've done some reading online and

have read that improvements have been seen in children's speech when their diets

were adjusted, such as cutting out gluten & casein and adding more Omega-3 rich

foods to their diets. Or eliminating artificial additives & colorants....Have

any of you done this? Have you noticed a difference?

I'm considering purchasing the Feingold Program (www.feingold.org) for my son.

He is also VERY active and does fit the early ADHD signs so I'm hoping by

changing his diet, it will also change his behavior so that he is able to

concentrate better. Right now, his ST is having problems working with him

because he is just EVERYWHERE. He can't seem to focus on one task for longer

than just a couple of minutes.

Any thoughts?

I've heard of Feingold. However not to sure what they market.Seems like commen

sense stuff though.

However am a believer in " you are what you eat "

Case in point, several years ago, I modified Dr. Atkins diet for my

kids. I simply cut out all white foods, and foods that contained sugar and white

flour.

Not only did my kids lose a few pounds- (they really needed to to) But more

importantly, their teachers noticed improvements in their attention span,

attitude, and general disposition.

Hope that helps.

ps, we need to go back to our healthy lifestyle eating.. (hate the word diet)

I'll let you know if their teachers notice
