ADHD and Oversensitivity in the Sense of Taste

Tension Deficit disorder – understanding a Natural treatment

Children who are very picky eaters may suffer from hypersensitivity in the palate, tongue, lips, throat, or elsewhere in the mouth. The sensitivity causes the child to have difficulty with the flavor and/or texture of food (too oily, too bitter, too rough, too smooth, etc.). To avoid the problem, these children may eat the same kind of food for a long time. When the child tires of the same type of food, he will be willing to try something else and, again, eat just that until he can’t stand it anymore.

When there is more than one type of hypersensitivity for example, hypersensitivity of both taste and smell the child’s difficulty may be much more severe.

When a Child have taste oversensitivity, in most of the cases he will have other sensitivity too. That can lead to Tension Deficit disorder or ADHD symptoms.
