[QUOTE="Josie, post: 55741, member: 1792"] I read your post on the natural treatments forum where you say that you are wheat intolerant. Have you considered having your son be gluten free? Or is he already? My younger daughter appeared to me to have ADHD which mostly went away when she went gluten free. She had stomach issues and we have a family history of celiac disease so the reduced ADHD was a side effect of the diet. After reading on that celiac.com board, I decided to try the diet for my oldest daughter who was diagnosis'ed with ODD and depression. She didn't have any GI symptoms. Her ODD and depression have gone away on the gluten free/casein free diet. Before we started her on the diet, she was taking 20 mg of Lexapro and we were needing to add something else like a mood stabilizer or an antipsychotic. Now, we have slowly weaned her down to 2.5 mg of Lexapro. I expect she will be able to get off completely but she goes through a couple of weeks of withdrawal at each doseage decrease so we are going slowly. Anyway, since you know that you have problems with wheat, his behaviour problems could be related to that as well. If you haven't already done so, search on [url="http://www.celiac.com"]http://www.celiac.com[/url] for ADHD and behaviour. [/QUOTE]
