JAPH. (That's right -- I'm not Really Inexperienced any more.)
I'm not just here, I'm here [perlmonks.org], and here [javajunkies.org] too, I ramble randomly in my philosophical blog [blogspot.com] and my other blog [blogspot.com]. Soon I'll come in a convenient six-pack.

Diagnosis
The results of the extensive testing I took a few weeks ago have been discussed with me; among other things, it looks like they're positive I have ADHD.

ADHD-Like Symptoms Caused by a Food Allergy (Score:1)
My son, who is now 10, has a food allergy that we didn't figure out until he was about two years old; if he has anything with corn or corn products in it (including the ubiquitous cheap All-American sweetener, corn syrup), he almost immediately exhibits ADHD-like symptoms -- hyperactivity, very low attention span, low frustration tolerance. It's amazing. My wife has learned how to cook without using corn products.
NONE of the pediatric physicians were willing to entertain the idea that a food aller

Definitely check out the allergy possibility. It's amazing how many doctors still don't even seem to believe allergies exist.
My father's best friend is an allergist and has been treating us for years. In that time I've had occasion to read a lot of pamphlets about the allergy ADHD connection while waiting around in his office.

Even if it's not the cause of your problems it's worth avoiding junk food anyway...
