NotSoObvious Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 My dd with ADHD had a blast at camp, but now she is a complete zombie from lack of sleep and all the crap she ate. I can always tell when she's had junk because she starts doing these little obsessive eye twitches. It's crazy. So what's the best way to get her system cleaned out? We're doing lots of water and good food, but is there something specific I should be giving her? Poor thing- it's like she's sick! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dandelion Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 - Lots of water - Diet of fresh fruit and veggies - Activated charcoal to soak up and eliminate toxins (capsules - available at health food stores) - Epsom salt baths (great for detoxing) HTH!

countrygal Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 Try beans if she'll eat them! They have a large amount of soluable fiber that binds to bile (which is full of fat soluable toxins.) Otherwise it gets reabsorbed in the GI tract. I don't have personal experience with it but I heard it works! Easy way to do it that I like best is mixing black beans and salsa then eating it with corn chips :) www.karenhurd.com has a page on ADD/ADHD that might have some suggestions. (she's a nutritionist) HTH and good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotSoObvious Posted August 4, 2012 Author Share Posted August 4, 2012 Perfect! I made chili last night and I'm loading her up on fruits and veggies. I didn't know that about beans! Thanks for the website! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeterPan Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 In addition to all the fruit and good food (salad, wild rice, beans, etc.), give her Primadophilus. But really, she may just plain need sleep. Let her sleep and rest a lot for a week, and she will hopefully bounce back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
