The only diet changes I've seen be recommended to help ADHD, that make sense, are things all kids should be doing anyway - less HFCS, less sugar in general, and more Omega-3's and Fish Oil.

ADHD is an issue of part of the brain developing slower/slightly abnormal. Food does not fix this. Medication does not *fix* this. The individual effected has to learn methods to alter their behavior. That's the only fix. Some find that medicine helps them, some find a better diet and exercise helps them, and some persue neurofeedback.

I really hate to see quackery promoted on these boards. Gluten-free diets are only helpful to people that are sensitive/allergic to gluten. Dairy-free diets are only helpful to people that are sensitive/allergic to dairy. These things have NOTHING TO DO WITH ADHD or any other neurological issue.
