I am so weary of these disturbing fake comments designed to generate false hope and cash profits from these judgmental doo-gooders who always claim to have cured someone else of ADD by getting them off that "horrid Adderall" with a substitute that always reminds one of wheat Germ or some other benign crop of crap.
The fake testimony add fuel to the fire of judgmental stigmatism for those of us who feel nothing from the hay-like junk that has cured ADD/ADHD. These posts often bring the Alanon wife of the 50's to mind. Typically the authour is someone who was watching the Alleged, terrifying descent straight into hell, as told by the scary subsistence of anyone who has Adderall.
I've had pharmacists embarass me with lines about how they don;t dispense drugs like that, how they need to call my doctor to verify some part of the script just to call me into controversy, or announce loudly in front of the other patrons that I've actuallly requested them to fill a "controlled substance". Let's hope that there are some kind of controls for rude, thoughtless thinly veiled arrogance.
Luckily my doc has the facts and has verified most of this prior to internet publication. Even if the stuff did work, get off the adderal posts to Clair3, e]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]

As I have reported on several occasions, our 10-year old grandson is now totally off meds and is successfully on a gluten-free casein-free diet. He is taking a variety of vitamin and enzyme supplements and is doing amazing in school and at home. We have a wonderful source of GFCF food, www.gfMeals.com. And we also find a wide variety of gluten-free foods at Whole Foods Market.
Here is some further evidence:
A group of Norwegian researchers have completed a long-term study of 23 children with hyperactive disorders, that shows that many children with ADHD suffer from a digestive disorder where they are unable to fully digest the gluten and casein proteins.
As reported on Celiac.com, "In the study, 22 of the 23 children were placed on strict milk-free and/or gluten-free diets. They were taken off milk products and other foods containing casein. All exhibited a rapid improvement in general well being; including improved mental health and general behavior, improved attention span and better learning abilities. After a year, 22 of the 23 families reported clear improvements in their child's behavior and attention span.
When the kids were taken off their diets, their symptoms returned nearly immediately. Before changing their diets, most of the children were taking medications, like Ritalin, to treat their symptoms. After their diets were established, their medications were discontinued."
Thank you for your comment. We try to provide information on all different treatment options, for example, a recent article on the site:
Should you or Your Child try the GFCF (Gluten-free Casein-free) Diet?,
This may help some people but is not the only answer and may not help everyone, therefore information on many aspects of ADHD is needed.

Hi Eileen,
That was very interesting. Here is a link to another excellent article on the GFCF diet that you might pass on as well. http://www.gfmeals.com/Articles.asp?ID=158 We have found this quite useful.
I have no problem with someone claiming to have found a "cure" that works for them, but to write a comment that looks and sounds like an advertisement is going a bit beyond sharing a positive experience.
After looking at the link provided it is pretty obvious that the primary motivation is selling products rather than providing relevant information. I was diagnosed with ADD many years ago and consider myself somewhat knowledgeable. I am very skeptical of what is being offered.
Before listening to hype claiming to improve diet or anything health related, especially for your child, talk to your doctor or family health care professional.
