LOL In typical ADD fashion, I completely missed the fact that the comment I was responding to was from 2012. 🙄
Congratulations on getting the correct diagnosis at last and turning your life around. And the new baby. 🙂
I have to admit when I started reading your post I was groaning inwardly thinking about how it’s the fashionable thing to blame everything on milk and gluten these days. But, since it turned out that really was the cause of your symptoms, it’s a good thing you got tested.
My brother tried that with his two children, going dairy free, when they were trying to figure out what was going on with them. It didn’t make a difference in their case and eventually one was diagnosed with ADHD and the other Aspergers Syndrome and they are much better now.
Now if only they could come up with an effective treatment for Lazy Teenager Syndrome…..
@Larynxa Like you said, it takes planning. That is probably the number one problem. I forget to buy the food, or forget that I did buy it, or just forget to eat… If I really had to do it, if it wasn’t a choice, then maybe it would be easier.
The psychiatrist who diagnosed my ADHD told me to give it time and just try to make one little change at a time. Which is working pretty well. Instead of trying to stick to some rigid meal plan I work on one habit at a time, like “eat protein at breakfast”. And when I got that one down, I started buying more fruit and making a habit of eating it. Now I have to work on veggies. Not my favourite food group. I’ve always been very picky about my veggies. 😛
