I'll tell you about my experience with a kid like yours and you can decide what to make of it:
Six months ago, responding to serious problems with attention, behavior and learning, I put my 6yo son on a gluten-free, casein-free diet. My son improved dramatically, but that's not what I want to tell you about.
Two months into the diet (the whole family went on it), we noticed that my 9yo daughter--intense, touchy, anxious, prone to daily meltdowns that lasted for hours--had become a calm, even tempered, *happy* kid. I knew things were not right with her, but never in a million years would I have guessed it was her *diet*.
Thought I'd mention it. Food allergies do seem to be more prevalent in our population.
