Just something to think about - if you plan to start excluding things from your child's diet, do it one at a time, maybe for a couple of weeks. If you exclude lots of things at once and you see improvement, you won't know what caused the change. It will be easier to maintain a diet with a few exclusions than if you exclude a large no. of things because you don't know which ones actually trigger negative effects.

Thanks simkhoo for the reminder ya.

fifyeo, I'm puzzled. Why onion and garlic too? As for milk, so soy milk?

Milk refers to cow's milk. Milk products are generally harder for the body to digest and does not work out well for people with a weaker stomach. Milk seems to cause DS to start producing a lot of mucus resulting in cough. So we cut out cheese and milk to almost 99%. DS eats ice cream but soya based ones.

For people who practise meditation (in yoga, or monks...), garlic and onions are to be excluded from their diet. You can goggle on this. Anyway, we all know that garlic and onions also produce a lot of wind in the stomach, so again it's not good for people with a weak stomach as well.

DS has a weak stomach so I try to exclude these from DS's diet.

You can try fish oil first. I think you can see a difference. I felt it after DS took it for about 2 weeks. But you have to check out the % of the components in all the different brands. You might want to goggle on fish oils and it's effects on ADHD kids.

These days I make fresh Soya milk for DS.


You can buy Rice milk from the supermarket. We stock on that at home too.

Hi, any recommendation of a dietitian in singapore that is not too costly? I’m thinking of changing my son’s diet, giving him supplements. I’ve read from different sources about certain supplements including fish oil, zinc etc but am worried that I give my child the wrong dosage.


Since I’m here, may I know if cod liver oil or fish oil is more effective? Which brand do you recommend? GNC sells child life cod liver oil but it’s $55 whereas online store is selling at around $30 after shipping charges.
