ADHD

Well we were not very surprised to find that Ceilidh is ADHD. We have decided that we are going to true to treat this by adjusting her diet rather then medication. Most people believe that ADHD is caused by food allergies. One of the most common allergy is to red and yellow food dye. Well seeing how so many foods contain artificial colors, it makes sense.

We have removed all artificial colors from her diet, and have cut back the dairy products. Also we have stopped most refined sugars. This alone has made a very big difference in her behaviour.

On the suggestion of the Dr. we have also started her on Evening Primrose oil, and combinations of oils, that are designed to help focus. With all of these measures in place, she now a typical 5 year old, rather then an over hyper one.

I hope that when school starts that she will not have any trouble. The last thing we would like to do is to but her on medication.
