ADHD/ADD
When studying someone’s diet certain “food triggers” which induce the above symptoms may be identified (see method). Children with ADHD and ADD are usually hypersensitive to histamine and tyramine but sometimes also to lactose and/or fructose, certain grains and milk (products).
High pain threshold
Children who struggle with these problems usually have a very high pain threshold! They suffer different kinds of pain: stomach ache, headache, itchy skin, sore muscles ... Some children are born with it and think that this pain is a part of life. Sometimes they are unable to make it clear to their parents or simply do not complain about it. They just learn to live with it: their pain threshold is underestimated by many people.
Adequate nutrition
These children are always more than willing to make adjustments to their diet: they want to get rid of their pain, which often becomes unbearable. Parents or grandparents sometimes find it more difficult to adjust the menu because of a lack of time or their particular family situation.
Also increasing stress (studies, unlimited access to products and luxury articles, freedom of choice and changing family situations) and puberty (hormonal influence) make children more susceptible to certain intolerances. Not all stress factors are easy to restrict, certainly not for children. But with an adequate diet you may relieve some ADHD related symptoms and improve your child’s health. This will soon lead to good results: your child will become calmer and his school performance will significantly improve.
