Medication versus diet

After much deliberation, my DH and I decided to try a complete diet change for our DS(10yo) instead of continuing to medicate him for his ADHD-inattentive and allergies.   We started weaning him off gluten and food dyes at the end of June.   For the entire months of July and August, our family has been gluten free and dye free.   We have seen an amazing change for our DS.  His anxiety has decreased and his joyful, playful self has returned.  In future posts, I'll share some recipes and strategies I am using to make life as normal and childlike as possible.  I have recreated many of DS's favorite convenient dishes as Gluten Free and Dye Free.
