Angel30...I can't imagine how hard it is of what you are going through with your child. I am 27 years old and currently taking adderall. I am a nurse and Adderall is helping me but I just hate being on a narcotic due to the side effects. I have been looking into alternative means other than narcotics and other medication to control my ADD. I too came accross the diet plan for ADD. It is a high protein and low carbohydrate diet. Along with the diet an intense physical activity is nessesary. The last bit of helpful information was to take an asprin product to help increase bloodflow to the brain. The best advice I can give you is to take your son to a dietician. If you can not do this then look online for the diet I meantioned above. Please make sure this type of diet is not preventing any needed nuteints your son needs.

I hope this reply gets to you. This is my first time. My son too has the same heartbreaking problems. today I found a very promising nutrition website. www.nlci.com/nutrition/news.htm It has very useful information including the most recent studies showing that iron deficiency may contribute to ADHD symptoms and a simple Iron suppliment may help alleviate some. Also gives you lots of foods to avoid. Very useful. Good luch
