Of course, your son may have food allergies on top of the ADHD. Diets do 
not work on pure ADHD. The Feingold diet as a treatment for ADHD has 
been thoroughly debunked numerous times. All the findings are replicable 
where they have found no effect. The few studies that say the FD works, 
have not had their findings replicated.
