Hi, I'm looking for any information regarding adverse effects from 
certain foods with ADD that other parents may have noticed.  I have two 
boys, one ADD with hyperactivity and one ADD.  The boy that has the 
hyperactivity seems to have the worse effects from certain additives.  
We've noticed that red dye will send Chris flying as well as caffeine.  
Even when he's on Ritalin, it will send him.  His pupils get really 
large, and forget about trying to reason with him.  I've allowed him 
limited amounts of chocolate, and wondering if we should cut this out 
completely.  Any info that anyone may have to share would be 
appreciated.  I'm not as educated on foods and additives as I would 
like to be, and with Chris, we think this may affect him substantially. 
I know its not always the case with ADD, but have heard with some 
children it can make a big difference.  Thanks Lise Maidman
