Anyone have suggestions for whether these symptoms could be a food intolerance/allergy:

we have a 4 year old boy who has had these symptoms for almost 3 years and we've seen specialist after specialist, but have gotten the inconclusive "ADHD, Aspergers Tendencies" No-one has any idea why these are occurring and I'm not sure what else to try (tests to request, possible causes, etc.).

His symptoms:
ADHD – yes, he does have the symptoms
Anxiety
Foul breath/very strong urine odor
inattentiveness
Bad (were talking he needs a one-on-one aide) behavior
Delayed Speech
Sensory integration issues (seeks out stimulous, etc.)

I had a friend tell me to get him tested for food allergies, but I want to get a better idea of what others thought before we dive in (our insurance won't cover any kind of naturopathic treatments). Maybe its not just food allergies, but could an underlying allergy make his problems worse???

Thank you for your thoughts.

What do you think?

My son was showing signs of Aspergers and ADHD. Not the same ones as your boy and they were milder, but enough for me to be concerned. He is 4 as well.
Without allergy testing, I have removed wheat (and gluten for the most part) from his diet. Indeed, all of our house is wheat-free since January and the change has been amazing. People cannot believe the change in him! Now people say he is a pleasure to be with…..and I am so pleased.
I should note that I have given him other supplements as well (Omege-3, Probiotics and a super-food called Ionix)
But I think it is the wheat.
I have yet to try dairy.
Why not try eliminated one of these at home for 3 months. It will not cost you any $$ and it certainly cannot hurt. There is a lot of information/resource online for this very thing.

Good Luck!
