Alternatively, you could talk about switching to a different stimulant like Concerta or Ritalin because each drug has different side effect profiles.
Gluten free/casein free diets have no research supporting reduced psychosis. They are really only helpful if your child has a documented gluten allergy.

In spite of a growing body of research many old school medical professionals do not recognize wheat gluten/gliadin causes any diseases besides celiac disease. Many studies have associated many health conditions with gluten. But these detractors refuse to listen because they do not provide physical pathways which lead through celiac disease, to them the only proven gluten effect. So lots of research concentrates on the markedly increased incidence of these conditions among celiac disease patients. Then people like you read these studies and say "See, the only people who get these diseases have celiac disease."
Wrong. These conditions are markedly increased among people with celiac disease, the accepted, proven connection to wheat ingestion. People with these same health issues display just as much and more connection to wheat ingestion. And they don't have celiac disease.
Celiac disease is associated with the release of zonulin. Zonulin makes the small intestine walls porous, and passes large protein peptides like wheat gliadin into the bloodstream. But all autoimmune diseases and metabolic conditions are associated with zonulin release and gut permeability upon ingestion of trigger proteins like wheat gluten and milk casein.
Opioids are opioids because they mimic endorphins. Endorphins are the body's painkillers. Opioids plug into nerve endorphin receptors and cause havoc. In some cases the havoc comes from loss of ability of endorphin to do its job. In some cases the havoc comes because the opioids cause unintended effects.
Wheat gliadin has many powerful opioids. A5 and B5 are a couple of the stronger ones. Milk casein has a few others. A1 is probably the worst. Sarayuwx‘s son is taking Zoloft and Adderall for his asperger's because they are opioids. When these opioids cause problems it's because they create unintended reactions. When wheat and milk opioids cause problems it's because they create unintended reactions.
