			    <description><![CDATA[Your not helping ANYONE by trying to pass off your uneducted opinion for medical fact.

Dont you think that if everyone with ADHD  symptoms actually had "Coeliacs" disease doctors & patients alike would have put 2 and 2 together!?  Do you  you  really think you have stumbled onto an amazing breakthrough by chance that thousands of doctors world wide hadnt seen it?!

Attempting to cut foods out their childs diet is the first thing most parents try for their ADHD child.. The fact is; FOR MOST IT DOES NOT WORK!!

I am very happy for you that in your case(....]]></description>

			    <description><![CDATA[Thanks Jo, quick question though, you don't happen to work for a drug company do you?

Well done for trying everything, you have clearly proven though that drugs should ONLY EVER BE USED AS A LAST RESORT once every other conceivable option has been given it's due course.

Research coming out of independent sources is showing a great reduction in previously diagnosed ADD/ADHD patients who have switched to a wheat/gluten free diet. This goes to show that many doctors have clearly grown complacent in their haste to diagnose (and as a consequence mis-diagnose) these beh....]]></description>

I was State Champion and National Champion in two different sports.  I was asthmatic and have a little "manic" about eating lots of fresh veggies, salads, seafood, yoghurt etc.  When my young son started school and had attentional problems, I was shocked.  Here was a bright child who never ate junk food (except at birthday parties), was very rarely allowed to watch TV and never played computer games before he started school with many of the s....]]></description>

			    <description><![CDATA[Hi Felicity,

I do have kids, two in fact also. Both are girls, the eldest is 'perfect' as you say, albeit 10 and going into puberty, she has no significant (but will get a light rash after too much milk). My youngest is 3 and has the same dietary requirements as me, i.e. we're both coeliac and respond to wheat in much the same way, first our temprament changes, we become flighty, angry and agressive, loose our inhibitions and attention span, then the food burns a new hole on it's way out of our body.

It is really hard, I empathise, to get the diet under controll. ....]]></description>

Do you know what it is like to have 2 children. the eldest perfect in every way. the youngest a beast on wheels at all times. i have tried diet. I gave her gluten free, colour/flavour and preservative free. No sugar. No red (even natural - tomato and strawberry). Nothing worked. i am now at the point where I cannot cope with her behaviour. I AM going to trial medication. Only after trying all other alternatives.

I also think jumping straight into medication is not the solution. So don't you judge people who have actually....]]></description>

(I had this at a hole-in-the-wall Mexican restaurant Sat morning, the best thing I ever tasted!  But then I'm partial to cukes.)

Calls for:

Pineapple slices
Watermelon slices
Lime slices
Cucumber slices (skin and all)

Rather than use ice, I froze the pineapple and watermelon slices and put it all in a blender w/ a cup of water and YUM!

Try it.

			    <description><![CDATA[Hi Annie, thanks for contributing.

I work in the field of medical research, and have contributed to and investigated in a number of studdies over the past several years centered around coeliacs disease.

It is an acknowledged statistic that while one in 100 (1:100) people have been diagnosed with coeliacs disease, that one in ten (1:10) people actually have the disease and have not, and are likely never to be diagnosed. In all of the cases I've seen where a coeliac with ADD/ADHD went on a gluten and wheat free diet, their behavioural problem disolved after a 2 mont....]]></description>

			    <description><![CDATA[I agree with both Kate and Colombo. Although you may be passionate about your views
Jake, it's sadly people like you who add to the stigma, prejudice and misinformation about ADD/ADHD.
Your disclaimer says it: you are not a doctor, so technically you cannot say if medication is the right or the wrong answer. ADD/ADHD is not just a childhood thing, a few grow out of it - but for most it's a life-long thing. You may be surprised that you are not the only one to cut food-additives, gluten and preservatives from their diet in order to minimize highs and lows (in our house they never ....]]></description>

			    <description><![CDATA[Sorry Jake, but since I live in the real world, I'm gonna have to agree with Kate on this one.  ADHD is a subtle condition, too subtle for someone of your apparently unsubtle intellect to understand, it seems.  So Ritalin is a drug.  So what?  Drugs can help people, but you seem to think they are there to punish them.

Would you deny your child 'drugs' if they had diabetes?  Or if they had cancer?  Not every child or adult with ADHD needs drugs, I agree, but why then make a sweeping statement saying ADHD is BS?  You might as well say "you people with epilepsy just need a big slap....]]></description>

			    <description><![CDATA[Hi Kate, thanks for your response. As a parent myself I care far more for my child's health, wellfare and wellbeing than I do for the opinion of the public.

Let me make this point clear, the ADHD medecation is a drug, not a herbal proceedure, but a drug made from synthesised chemicals and bonding agents. These drugs DO have a profound effect on the behavior of children diagnosed with ADD/HD BUT there answers other than those that the doctor prescribes.

Diet and discipline are those things that seperate the child of yesteryear from the child of today and they have ....]]></description>

			    <description><![CDATA[It has now been proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that ADHD does indeed exist, it is a  well documented neurological brain disorder, the UK is the only country that doesn't accept this disorder on the Autistic spectrum.

The Feingold diet (gluten, wheat and dairy free) has been proven to help in treating the  underlying core symptoms which would explain Jakes theory.

Routine, boundaries and structure are also critical in helping an adhd child as with all ASD's.

But I totally DISAGREE with your views on stopping medication due to it poisoning our  chi....]]></description>

Kids do have coping mechanisms, though you're right the learn their behaivior from their environment. My mum eats and my dad bottled. I did both and turned them into super-habits!

In saying that, I've always believed that there are heaps of 'life lessons' that we can learn and one of them is to do a better job than our folks did. I ate and bottled and got fat etc, but reached a point where the teasing and bullying became too hard. So I changed myself.....]]></description>
