What is Adult ADD?
Adult ADD is a neurological brain disorder that manifests as a persistent pattern of inattention and/or hyperactivity/impulsivity that is more frequent and severe than is typically observed in individuals at a comparable level of development. ADHD which begins in childhood, and as has only recently been understood, can persist into adulthood as well. While some children outgrow ADHD, about 60% continue to have symptoms into adulthood. The disorder manifests differently in adults as hyperactivity tends to diminish.
How is Adult ADD diagnosed?
The cornerstone for an Adult ADD diagnosis is the DSM-IV-TR. Your healthcare professional diagnoses Adult ADD based on three components:
Symptoms: Adults with ADD might tell their healthcare professional about symptoms including: lack of focus, disorganization, restlessness, difficulty finishing projects, and/or losing things.
Impairments: An adult with ADD might have difficulties at work, at home, or in their personal relationships.
History: Adults with ADD must have had their symptoms prior to age 7 and these symptoms must have continued for at least 6 months.
What Causes Adult ADD?
Although the exact cause of ADD remains unknown, research has increased in the last decade. At present, the most likely cause of ADD is believed to be genetic, but other causes have been implicated as well.

Well, food allergies can lead to symptomatic behavior of ADD/ADHD. Dairy is a common allergy.

Just Browsin is right. But more encourage symptoms then cause. Other possible food allergens are processed foods and wheat.
