\"\"<\/a>Diets that were tried in attempt to reduce symptoms associated with attention-deficit\/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) include:<\/p>

- sugar-restricted
- additive\/preservative-free
- oligoantigenic\/elimination
- fatty acid supplements<\/p>

Omega?3 supplement is the latest dietary treatment with positive reports of efficacy. Interest in the additive-free diet of the 1970s is occasionally revived. <\/p>

Provocative reports have drawn attention to the ADHD-associated “Western-style” diet, high in fat and refined sugars, and the ADHD-free “healthy” diet, containing fiber, folate, and omega-3 fatty acids.<\/p>

Indications for dietary therapy<\/b> include:<\/p>

- medication failure
- parental or patient preference
- iron deficiency
- change from an ADHD-linked Western diet to an ADHD-free healthy diet, when appropriate<\/p>

In practice, additive-free and oligoantigenic\/elimination diets are time-consuming and disruptive to the household; they are indicated only in selected patients. <\/p>

Iron and zinc are supplemented in patients with known deficiencies; they may also enhance the effectiveness of stimulant therapy. <\/p>

In patients failing to respond or with parents opposed to medication, omega-3 supplements may warrant a trial. <\/p>
