Being a mom who lives this every day I can tell you I am so happy that it is gaining more attendion.
Nathan has been on the Feingold diet for over 6 months and he is a TOTALLY different child. As a mom you never want to think your 3 yr old may need medicated to attend school so I searched for causes of his problems ( classic ADHD symptoms). I tried the feingold diet which eliminates food dyes and preservatives from the diet and it was a God send! With in a week I had comments from his preschool and speech teachers about a 180 in his behaviors and attention span. I have had 2 other boys so I knew his behaviors were not "typical 3yr old boy behaviors"
Anyone who has a child with hyperactivity tendacies please take a look at their diets before looking at medications. I am not saying some children dont need medications but if it can be managed by a dietary change it is well worth not using chemicals.
