Memorable Moments:
\u201cShe was a very picky eater\u2026Then we started noticing the emotional dysregulation.\u201d

\u201dWe were starting to get some judgment from some of our family, \xa0because when you don\u2019t understand ADHD, you don\u2019t get it. You look at a child and think, \u2018Why can\u2019t you discipline them? Why can\u2019t you calm them down? Why can\u2019t they regulate themselves?' They\u2019re looking at them as bad kids because they see that as bad behavior.\u201d

\u201dFor the first time in our journey, I felt understood. I thought, \u2018Oh my gosh, this makes sense.\u2019\u201d

\u201dHonestly for us, it was a relief. It was validation that we weren\u2019t crazy..that there was something going on that we couldn\u2019t identify.\u201d\xa0

\u201dWe go to doctors now\u2026and you\u2019re just always given something. Here\u2019s a pill. Here\u2019s a pill. Here\u2019s a pill. And you never get to the root of the issue.\u201d

\u201dWe never want her ADHD to be a handicap to her.\u201d

\u201dWe go in and we think we need to do it all at once, but that\u2019s overwhelming for us\u2026We just did one thing at a time.\u201d

\u201dIt was noticeable in her appearance as soon as she went off the gluten.\u201d

\u201dIt just takes time. It\u2019s hard at first\u2026but just give it the time.\u201d

\u201dThe functional lab testing\u2026 is that foundation, and you can build on it.\u201d

\u201dThere\u2019s more to treating ADHD than just medication. That is the one thing I wish I\u2019d known.\u201d
