There is no precise diet as such but there are some foodstuffs that your son may have to refrain from. The first one is the prevention of consumption of dairy products. This very important and should be paid attention to.


There are other milk alternatives that you can use. Almond milk, rice milk are both good substitutes. Make sure your son drinks an ample amount of water as it is thought to be helpful. Avoid foods like corn and squash. Make sure your kid does not eat any junk food and avoid fruit juices that have a high amount of sugar in them, instead if he wants to drink a juice dilute it with water in a 1:1 ratio. This restriction will probably be the hardest for your son, but do not allow your son to eat more than one piece of chocolate in a week. Children who suffer from ADD disorder also suffer from low levels of essential fatty acids. This may be happening because they cannot metabolize them or they cannot absorb EFA from the intestines. Therefore have your kid take omega -3 oil supplements as it is very beneficial for the brain and as far as possible avoid the consumption of omega – 6 oils. The good sources of omega – 3 are flax seeds and fish like trout and salmon or sardines. These fish have high levels of omega – 3 oils and are also beneficial to your child’s health and well being.
