I wish I knew what a good alternative to medications would be. I do think there is something to diet. There is a blood test c alled the ALCAT blood test. This blood test actually tests your own blood for foods and chemicals that you are intolerant to. The put the food cells into your live blood and actually see how they react with your blood work. About two years ago I went through thius process and basically did not eat the fooods I was intolerant to. I lost 30 lbs and kept ot off by mostly following the diet and excedrcise.
Since then I have strayed from the program, put soem weight back on and was diagnosed with ADD about six months ago. I am not saying it is a cure, but just like there appear to be links tpo Gluten and Autisim – I do believe that food is a drug in the sens of how it interacts with your body and could be benfical in controlling symptoms.
I’m going back on teh program – whuch really is to stay way from the foods I am intolerant to. I do knoiw that I felt very good and clear headed when I was on the program. Why did I stop? STress, bad habits, wanted to consumes the foods that were not good for me, a baby along the way…. Hopefully I can gbet back on the straigt and narrow
