Control ADHD With Diet, an ADHD Diet

I will provide information about ADHD Diet to help you control ADHD with diet. Diet plays a big role but can't be soley relied on. Use this process with medications or vitamin and mineral supplements.

When I was doing a research paper on ADHD, I came across a quote that a doctor made. She said, "When you feed a person with ADHD, you are feeding the brain and not the stomach" (I can't remember where I got this or who said it). If this doesn't make sense, I will break it down.

Everything that a person, with this disorder, eats, it has an effect in some part of their body. It might cause their brain or body to be wired, their emotions to spin out of control, or some other way. This is why ADHD diets are so important. It will remove the irritants that cause these reactions.

I read a book that talks specifically about diet and ingredients. It is a must read for all people. Read Dr Colbert's, What You Don't Know May Be Killing You!

I know personally when I eat, shortly after, I start feeling things. I am very in-tune with my body. When I eat a piece of a certain type of bread, I can feel my brain starting to "spin".

This also happens with other types of foods. See the ADHD symptoms page for the symptoms that a person with this disorder can have.

Some types of foods make my mood swing. I can be happy and content as I am eating and shortly after eating, I feel my emotions sliding into a depression and an overwhelming feeling comes on me. Sometimes I feel like crying.

Other foods make my body wired and I start moving and don't stop. There are foods that can combine any of the results. Just think of our bodies (us with this disorder) being very sensitive. We can't have just anything.

This is why I feel you can help control ADHD with diet.

For example, someone that is allergic to flowers or the pollen in them. It doesn't matter how beautiful or what type of flower you bring, if this person smells it, they will have a reaction. Their body has a sensitivy to this.

There are lots of diets out there. I don't know about them all and I will cover as many as possible.

How I Eat

My ADHD diet, right now, mainly concists of fish and rice. I love sushi (no weird stuff - shrimp, crab, octopus) and eat it all the time. Combining that with a vitamin and mineral supplement, I help control ADHD with diet.

Some say that certain fish can have metals in them which get into the brain of the consumer's body when consumed. Once this happens it causes the brain to have ADHD symptoms.

Others say that an ADHD diet should consist of a lot of fish. Go figure.
