Re: ADHD and diet

[Guest guest]

I'm new to all this too, and there may be others out there who can be more

helpful, but we started out by being just wheat-free also, as opposed to

gluten-free. My son had a urine peptide test come back with a level of

gliadorphin at 192. Normal is less than 20. So being wheat-free (for about 6

months before the test) was not the complete answer for him. He needs to be

gluten-free.

Also, it's my understanding that my son doesn't have celiac disease. His

problem is that he improperly metabolizes gluten to form opiates. In celiac

disease, the intestinal lining is messed up somehow, which is different from

our problem.

Hope this helps,

Hi ,

My youngest son is ADHD and he has improved from the diet. His wheat levels

were fine, but his casein levels were higher than his autistic brother's. I

have seen improvement in his excitability. His reading and math has

improved. FYI, both boys have too high mercury, tin, aluminum, arsenic,

nickel and lead levels, as do I. So, you might want to check out the metals

in his system.

With all the wheat that is put in EVERYTHING, and the growing understanding

that cow's milk is not made for human consumption, the gfcf diet makes sense

for all of us. My allergies have DISAPPEARED after 20 years since being on

the gfcf diet and my boys (all 3) are NEVER sick.

Good luck with it all..
