Some doctors attribute ADHD, particularly the inattentive sort, to actually be a manifestation of general allergic reactions which really just makes people tired, and triggers symptoms that would classify a person as having ADHD according to the DSM (Remember, the DSM generally makes no distinctions as to what causes a condition, it only diagnoses it.) They often try to treat the allergies first, which is generally a good start.

I have both ADHD and a mild latex allergy. Ironically, the latex allergy makes eating almost any fruit shitty ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oral_allergy_syndrome#Cross_rea... )

However, my diet has definitely kept clear of most of these foods when possible for a long time now (although I really do love avocados), and even did the fatty fish thing for a while, but symptoms haven't changed for me.

The conclusion of the original study is that it isn't an allergic reaction that is causing the symptoms, but that somehow restricted diets still work.

Their "few-foods diet" was rice, meat, vegetables, pears and water. Then, based on the needs of the individual kids, likes and dislikes (and maybe their known susceptibility to various allergens?), etc, potatoes, fruit and wheat were added.

You could try just sticking with the reduced few-foods diet for a month and see if symptoms improve.
