An inspiring story left by one of our readers, explains the dramatic effect of eliminating wheat<\/a> from his child’s diet, and how this greatly reduced his child’s ADHD symptoms. <\/p>\n Wheat can cause problems that are very hard for a mainstream doctor to recognize. Their training is to look for a set of symptoms, and usually prescribe a patented medicine to alleviate the symptoms.

Most doctors cannot recognize a wheat allergy<\/a> or intolerance because they are not trained to look for this, and because symptoms vary widely from one patient to the next.<\/p>\n Nevertheless, ADHD may well be a common symptom of a wheat allergy in many children, rather than a Ritalin (Methylphenidate) deficiency.<\/p>\n Attention deficit disorder in adults may well have the same caused: wheat. <\/p>\n The child of our reader experienced a whole host of symptoms<\/a> including the following:<\/p>\n He also had a fight or flight response under even slightly stressful conditions.

He is more empathetic. He has less of a fight or flight response.<\/p>\n He no longer throws up. He has caught up in school.<\/p>\n He is no longer taking acid reflux medication. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
