Guest guest Posted June 16, 2006 Report Share Posted June 16, 2006 Wayne I would also like to suggest learning more about food allergies/sensitivities and environmental allergies and their connection to ADD ADHD. One book to read is Is this Your Child by Doris Rapp. Until correct diagnosis and treatment of our sons environmental allergies and food allergies he could have been classified as ADHD. We had noticed when he was only 6 months old that if he ate certain foods that he became unmanageable. As he got older we discovered several foods (different for each child but his are apples, peaches, pears, melon and yeast) that would cause him to bounce off the walls. As we have eliminated all of these from his diet and successfully treated his environmental allergies he is a different child. He still tends to be excitable however, no more than any other 7 year old that we know. He is able to concentrate at school and control his impulses so much better!!! You may also want to consider chemical causes for ADD or ADHD. The medications that we were giving him to try and control his environmental allergies we making him so hyper that there were days that I would sit and cry becuase I could not handle him. We are now treating his environmental allergies naturally using sublingual immunotherapy. I would be happy to share more extensive information if you are interested.

Guest guest Posted June 17, 2006 Report Share Posted June 17, 2006 Yes, please read Dr. Rapp! Allergies is high on the list of 50 conditions that can mimick ADD. Some are common, like hypoglycemia, others like seizure disorders are mercifully rare. Here is an excerpt from a series I was in the process of writing, and in typical ADDult fashion never got finished. 50 Conditions that mimic ADD Let's start looking at pieces of the ADD puzzle, aka the 'nothing but' factors. You know what I mean. Parents with an ADD child have to put up with people telling them that ADD is nothing but.....take your pick. Anything from too much sugar to learning disabilities to boys being boys to not enough discipline. This drives hard-working overburdened parents nuts. Especially if they have already tried many of the suggestions and they have not worked. It is still a good idea to look at this list and to investigate the conditions one by one. You can find the whole list here (scroll down a bit and look in the left side bar) http://www.adhdtesting.org/ Hypoglycemia is number 1 on the list for good reason. I should get back to it.....
