| Re: Daughter about to be diagnosed
I have been in your shoes with my daughter. She was diagnosed with ADHD when she was about 4 years old. They wanted me to take her off sugar cold turkey also. I did but it was a real struggle. She fought me constantly. She would hide and get it any way she could. If I didn't give it to her she would get it from school. Sugar was a big factor in all of it. She is now 10 years old and keeping sugar from her is still a battle. But it really does help. What med did the Dr. give her? It took a year for the Dr. to diagnose her with ADHD. At first they said it was kids being kids. I said no way I have another daughter a year older and I never experienced anything like what I am with my middle child. She is a terror on sugar. And when she is without it she is so much better behaved. She is still very hyper, short tempered, distracted, etc. But in the end its better sugar free. It is so very hard with a child with ADHD. I do not give my child meds after several months of awful experiences with meds. I hope everything works out for you.
