Guest guest Posted February 8, 2010 Report Posted February 8, 2010 I am curious as to reading the nutritional label on products, I am looking at things for my child who has had ADHD his whole life, I swear, but has recently in the last year become quite a handful. I know alot has to do with changes at home, my husband deployed last Feb., but he has been really having a hard time at school now that we are closer to the homecoming. Add to that I am not the cook in the family, but I do my best. Sugar in any form is bad for him and we keep it minimal so... a product I am looking at has sweet leaf stevia as the last ingredient in a long list of ingredients, looking under the supplement facts I am not seeing where the information for that sugar is located. Maybe the carbs? Is it generally listed differently in the nutritional label? Thank you, Jenn Quote
Guest guest Posted February 8, 2010 Report Posted February 8, 2010 The Feingold organization is a fantastic resource for information regarding foods and behavior: www.feingold.org Have you looked into supplementation? I give my daughter hemp oil and magnesium/D; they definitely help with attention and focus. Â There are many therapists who work with people who have ADD/ADHD; they teach them not just coping skills, but how to use ADD/ADHD as an advantage in their lives. Thom Hartmann has written extensively on this topic; you should be able to find his books art your local library, there is lots of information at his website: http://www.thomhartmann.com/category/thom/adhd-education/ Quote
