All About ADHD : Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder

nansk:

In addition to cutting TV and sweets, you may want to try the other thing jedamum mentioned - Omega-3 fish oil. Buy a good quality brand (with no added sugar) with dosage appropriate for children. We buy Nordic Naturals.

Another food that I have read helps kids to calm down and focus, is a little coffee every morning.
Also, I read http://www.younglivingsuccess.com/2009/08/essential-oils-for-add-and-adhd.html about essential oils used to massage the feet at bedtime. I bought Cedarwood EO, and Lavender EO from a trusted local supplier, http://www.milagrotrading.com/store/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=16&zenid=cc12105bd1268c3f0a8759cd90f00265 and mix it with rice bran oil from NTUC Fairprice (10 drops of each EO for every 60 ml of rice bran oil). Not sure if it really helps, but it cannot harm, right? It definitely aids in getting deep, restful sleep. You may want to try this option.
Also, to add, we noticed more focus and readiness to learn after the age of 6. So hang in there; it will get better.

Hi may I know where did u buy the Nordic naturals? My 5 yo boy is very active! Thks ya.

I think scott’s cod liver oil works too. I saw from documentary Child of Our Time. It is much cheaper.

Not sure if this can help, but saw this in an advert somewhere online, so I thought might as well share it here:

Hi anyone has any food nutritionist to recommend that will help reduce hyperactivity in child? I understand gluten free food are recommended. But when I surf around I couldn't really make out exactly what are these gluten free food that a 5 yo child can take. Thanks in advance.

Hi Summer Tan,
You are looking at biomedical intervention? Perhaps you can go to Dr. Erwin Kay for advice.

Gluten is found primarily in wheat and also other products like oats. My 7yo is currently on a gfcf (gluten free and casein free diet). He takes special bread and cereal for breakfast and snacks. For these (and more) products, I usually go to Brown Rice Paradise at Tanglin Mall, or Back2Basics at Telok Blangah.

Hope it helps

Hi ArielMermaid,


Did you see any visible difference after going on a gfcf diet? How long before you noticed the difference?

When DS went on a vegie diet, he was like an angel in terms of behaviour. Not sure about concentration for work though.

Hi, vegi diet meaning no meat? Wow. My concern is my son will become skinny. Or will he not?
