Brief Answer:
Gluten for dietitian, and ADHD drug rehab withcare
Detailed Answer:
Thank you for asking!
I am Dr S Khan and and i would like to help you with your concerns for your kid's Gluten free diet guidance and ADHD management.
1-Gluten Free Diet Guidance!
XXXX i want you to know that Regardless of the causative factor(s) for
gluten sensitivity, the treatment remains the same: a 100%
gluten-free diet. The duration of this diet for celiac disease patients is for life, while currently unknown for those with gluten sensitivity. Ultimately, the best diet for eliminating the largest number of dietary antigens would be the elimination diet.An authentic elimination diet removes ('eliminates') all possible food allergens, of which the eight most common are milk, eggs, peanuts, tree nuts, soy, wheat, fish and crustacean shellfish. The American Dietetic Association has proposed an elimination diet for people, usually children, with food allergies. This diet works by eliminating the major food allergens for a period of time (1–4 weeks), after which foods containing the allergens are added back into the diet (reintroduced or 'rotated') to determine whether or not the child is sensitive to this food. It may be the best 'default diet' for people with gastrointestinal symptoms of unknown origin as a means to eliminate diet as a contributing factor. Failing to incorporate this step means that other food sensitivities, medications and treatments may mask the problem, interfere with symptom alleviation and possibly lead to a series of invasive, expensive tests that do not solve the underlying problem.
For further management seek a dietitian and let them help your kid with the best possible options.
