[QUOTE="sheri.m, post: 3033, member: 2497"] Just wanted to add my two cents about natural treatments. Two of the doctors we saw for difficult child told us "not to bother" with changing his diet because "it doesn't work." Well, I'm here to tell you that it does. As Moonglow mentions, eliminating Red Dye #40 is an important step, as is eliminating Yellow Dye #5. At this point, I've eliminated any foods/beverages with dyes in them at all, just to be on the safe side. We've also moved to a more organic diet overall, to cut down on the amount of pesticides and other chemicals that are added to foods. In addition to dietary changes, you may want to consider supplementing your difficult children diet with essential fatty acids (EFAs). Studies are showing that depletion of EFAs are, in some cases, causing behavior problems in children. Finally, I'd really recommend making sure that your difficult child is getting enough sleep. It is important that children get a good 8-10 hours every night. Good luck on your journey! [/QUOTE]
