Audit for Diet-related Symptoms of ADD

Go through the checklist to assess those ADD symptoms that might be diet related. Since metabolism is often a heredity factor, this study might be helpful in starting a family project to establish support and enthusiasm for a healthier diet.

Scoring

For each “Often” you marked, give a score of 2, and for every “Sometimes,” a score of 1. Sum up your scores for a raw score in a range of 0-30. Consider the interpretation of the final score:

For final scores in the range of 0-5, the individual may not have a metabolism issue that relates to ADD.

For final scores in the range of 6-15, the individual has ADD-type symptoms that are related to metabolism issues and ADD symptoms.

For final scores in the range of 16-22, there are significant issues of metabolism and ADD symptoms, and a diet is recommended.

For final scores of 23-30, a nutritional assessment would be recommended, especially in regard to foods that may have allergic properties for the individual and may be promoting ADD symptoms.
