    This site has helpful information on lots of topics including ADHD.
    I searched ADHD (scroll down past the ads) http://www.greenmedinfo.com/search/google-cse#gsc.q=adhd

    There are a LOT of questionable sites and links on that page.

    Doctors only LAST YEAR proved that gluten intolerance existed, but it's not an enzyme but rather the body reacting with an immune response to gluten, in a way that is NOT celiac disease nor an allergic response. that's the extent of what they know so far - literally don't even know how it works yet.

    I am going to hi-jack this thread for just a second to say that this quote is just so good to know. My daughter has this and I had doctors tell me that she was "just" a hypochondriac / high strung... Despite the fact that she would react to wheat, its derivatives, in very small amounts with stomach cramps and bumps. I would love to know the source so that I could share this with her.

    The gaps diet has no studies. Not even a case paper. It also is extremely restrictive and can cause nutritional deficiencies.

    Meditation can help to center you and help you to become more present, which is difficult for those who have ADHD and anxiety.
    Last year I believe I was the healthiest I've ever been mentally, due to yoga and frequent "centering". There was no medication. I have since moved and haven't been able to get into a studio quite like my old one. I haven't gotten that focus back at all. :(
