>I have tried to discuss the diet connection with the parents of a couple
of ADHD children, but they do not seem to be interested. They cannot
believe that such a simple thing as a change of diet could assist their
children, they seem indoctrinated to the Ritalin aka known as medical
route.<
Not to be disrespectful, but there is nothing "simple" about the GF,
the GF/CF, or the Fiengold diets. These regimens are difficult to follow,
especially for parents who are coping with behavior problems, packing
lunches, attending parent/teacher conferences, spending hours a night on
homework, driving kids to & from activities & usually holding down full
time jobs just to make ends meet. Whew! It makes me tired just thinking
about it all. Can anyone blame parents who would opt for a quick fix?
