Foods To Avoid If Your Child Has Adhd?

hello

i am writing to find out if i can have a simple list of things to avoid or change in my sons diet as i have a feeling he may have ADHD like my two brothers and i would like to control this as much as possible.

i have tried to google this a hundred times and i should really know having two brothers with ADHD but i was rather young so i don't remember much about their diet.

thanks in advance.

    Hi

    My son tends to get hyper on things like Aspertine (found in many drinks) Ribena is OK but reduced sugar is definately not!

    I just tend not to buy anything too processed, cook from scratch, he doesn't eat many sweets anyway.
