[QUOTE="MuM_of_OCD_kiddo, post: 458399, member: 12241"] Not with ADHD but with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD). The entire B vitamin family along specifically with B6 + Niacin + lots of vit. C, as well as other more specified vitamins that I came up with during research [it's been almost 4 years now and we have not used the later ones the last 2 years as he got tired of taking daily handful of vitamin pills and he really wasn't ready to "work it" back then, I can look for my old notes if you want to have specifics]. The Bfamily did help a lot though, and we still use them [more or less] religiously. What also helped [in my opinion at least] was cooking from scratch and less out of the box/prepared freezer food or dishes. More veggies + fruit; virtually cutting out sodas other than the occasional one when going out for lunch/dinner, drastically reducing sugar intake [again cutting back not only on actual sugar useage but also everything else sugary - no more cookies, cakes, "fake" cereals, canned fruit, juices only watered down, etc etc]. I've also talked him into a bowel cleaning program - he tends to withold and become constipated, and I was pretty sure he had impacted fecal matter collecting for years. I am sure that is not so much an issue with a 4 yr old, but my son had been constipated even as a baby, and pretty much stayed that way no matter how/what he ate. In the later years he avoided going #2 and dragged it out as long as he could, and I had to resort to laxatives just to get him to eliminate at all. So while I can't say which in particular did [or did not] help him, I am sure the cleansing in combination with the vitamins and healthier eating, coupled with more emotional maturity, is what started his turn about when he turned 16ish. It did take quite a while to come together though but it seems to be a lasting change for the better [although he still has his stupid moments, LOL]. [/QUOTE]
