He has never been “on sugar” as it tends to make him vomit. In fact, we don’t even give him fruit juice. We have a fairly healthy lifestyle. I nursed him for the first year so he never had formula, we eat no HFCS or trans fats, and we avoid soy. I cook most of our food from scratch, using ingredients from our garden. He is constantly busy with various activities and does not watch TV. He does play Angry Birds on the potty. From my research there are several underlying causes of ADHD, and the drugs simply mask the symptoms. That is why I’m interested in FReepers who have taken the alternate approach.
