There is an overwhelming amount of evidence that gluten is a problem for humans. Yet we keep eating it. After reading Wheat Belly, I swore off wheat flours, yet it has crept back into my family's diet. Frustrating.

Watched a PBS program last night. Caught a tidbit that was new to me. Real ADD/ADHD 'ers have a gene that causes poor production of dopamine.

I had gone down the rabbits hole to find ways to increase the dopamine production; but it made my head spin; and even my brother who understands biochem didnt have answers to my questions about material I read.

In my personal experience I do know that L-tyrosine does increase the dopamine levels somewhat; and drugs like Concerta and methylphenadate ( had scripts for these) worked even better.

My frustration was that I was required to pee in a cup regularly, like I was a drug addict. Very degrading. My son never is required to pee in a cup by his doctor.

Is it any wonder so few people get the proper treatment.
