Previous studies have found that kids with ADHD can benefit from eating and restricting certain types of foods. Most of those studies focused on diet plans to help with ADHD-related symptoms such as lack of attention and impulsivity.

But a new study out of the Netherlands has found that eliminating certain foods can also help ADHD kids sleep better.

“The 15 children who followed the elimination diet showed an overall 4.6 times greater reduction than the other 12 children in all physical and sleep problems; overall complaints were reduced by 77% in the elimination diet group, versus only 17 percent in the control group.” - Source: FYI Living

Kids who were fed and elimination diet were only fed hypoallergenic food including turkey, rice, lettuce, carrots, pears, beets and water.
