Hi Casper123,
Nice to have you here.
As far as the sugar, I'm with Bugsmom. In my opinion, sugar isn't what causes the "hyper" in adhd. With that said, kids do have way too much sugar so limiting it would be a good thing, in general, but I wouldn't take it out of his diet completely.
I know that most parents worry themselves sick when their kids are barely eating and are as skinny as can be, but they usually start to grow out of the pickyness and eventually put on weight. Not to say you shouldn't try to sneak nutrition into their foods whenever you can. For example, make a home-made chocolate milkshake and slip a little Pedisure into it, unless of course, he likes Pedisure, then no sneaking needed.
And just to do a little reassuring, I quit eating meat as a teen and later fish, then eggs and am still alive and kicking.
Enough of my babbling. Again, glad you joined out group. I look forward to getting to know you and more about your son.
