[QUOTE="Josie, post: 117631, member: 1792"] I have also found diet to be the cause of bad behaviour in my oldest difficult child. She was diagnosis'ed with ODD. It turns out she is allergic to gluten (in wheat, rye, oats, and barley, malt) and milk. Talk about universal! There is no way most people would notice this. My other daughter had more classic celiac disease symptoms and when dealing with this, discovered difficult child's problem. It turns out, my whole family is gluten intolerant. Even husband is reluctantly seeing it in himself now that he has mostly eliminated it. Some celiac experts believe 30% of the population suffers from this so it might be fairly common but rarely recognized. We have eliminated gluten and milk from our diets and my oldest daughter is actually a pleasure to be around, even at age 12, most of the time. Diet mistakes happen and she sometimes cheats and then it is awful. I think you should explore every possibility suggested above. In the meantime, you could experiment with diet to see if it makes a difference. Be aware that this is not something that most doctors believe in. That doesn't mean it doesn't work for some people.
