I was just wondering if Nutrition has any bearing on ADHD symptoms . I have been having problem with eating and was wondering if not eatign made them worse auntchris

Eating lightly helps me. I just try and eat a reasonably balanced diet. I like to eat and cook so it's relatively easy for me.

I don't eat much processed foods like sauce out of a jar and things like that. I like to cook from scratch. I prefer whole foods and try and stay away from sugar.

Lean protein is really good at stabilising me emotionally.

But none of that is written in stone. I'm not going to refuse chocolate periodically. I'm just not fanatical about any of it.

I can make my symptoms worse by eating too much or too little. I can aggravate my symptoms by eating too much hot fuel like all the "white" foods like pasta, rice, potatoes, sugar etc..

Everyone is different though. If not eating isn't helping then maybe you should have smaller meals more often. That strategy is often suggested as a better way of eating.

thanks Ian...I do stay away from the white foods...i cant handle them or burn them up like I use too.

As for choc well that is my friend and so is sugar that is going to take practice but it isnt accessive.

I have a problem with eating Ian... I was sick for a few weekand couldnt eat and now I am having a problem eating again, any thoughts chris

What kind of problems are you having exactly?

Since 2000 I began to starve myself...I was still at healthy weight...but not eating
and was doing good then my med strattera i just didnt want to eat all summer plus i was taking care of a neighbor while sshe was in the hospital and her affairs . Now I am on cymbalta and i hav no appetite. Just recently I was sick had the flu and did eat hardly at all. Now I just cant seem to eat and am weak and tired all the time. I want to eat healthy not big meals it is just me... That is it in a nutshell. auntchris
