Default Re: Help! Waiting on a possible ADHD diagnosis

I have considered dietary connections, but honestly, the thought of figuring that out completely overwhelms me. I wondered if red dye was a culprit, which she probably doesn't get a lot of at home, although she may have it when eating out. And it's also in Gatorade, which my husband keeps at home and she *occasionally* drinks. But that's not an everyday thing. The tantrums are not limited to the afternoon. She pitched a fit for almost an hour this morning! She was ok for about 3 minutes after waking up, then everything went downhill. I told her I was going downstairs to make her lunch and breakfast and that I was not going to stand there and let her talk to me that way. She eventually came to the kitchen continued the fit.

She is ravenous after school. But as far as protein, she really only likes meat. She doesn't care for peanut butter, and my husband is allergic to tree nuts, so I really only have pistachios on hand since I eat them. (He's anaphylactic to pecans for sure.) She won't eat hummus or cottage cheese. But she will snack constantly if I allow it. Fruit, carbs, etc. Her BMI is high, but our Ped isn't too concerned. She stayed on her curve - so he was glad to see she didn't jump up. Last year at her well check he
Sent us for blood work since her bmi was high, but everything was normal.

She loves her gifted class and teacher. She LOVES reading and I would estimate she's on at least a 4th grade reading level. She complains that her regular class is "boring". I explained that since it's the beginning of the school year, there may be some review, and she now complains that all of 2nd grade will be a repeat of 1st grade. Ugh. Her teacher is relatively new - brand new to our school system but has a couple years of experience. And this is her 2nd career - she was formerly in law enforcement! But she seems very excited about teaching and has had nothing but praise for DD.

We have our regularly scheduled parent/teacher conference tomorrow. I also emailed her principal today, bc some of DD's fits seem to be about school - missing recess for others' misbehavior, for example. Hopefully we will be able to pinpoint the issues soon start to get things figured out.
