You are exactly on the right track here, as is a couple of other people in this thread. Behavioral Allergies should be pinpointed by monitoring the intake of your child. Find out what they're eating at school, document what they're eating at home and watch. When your child is focused and doing what he/she's supposed to be doing then note what foods they ate. When they're having trouble focusing, note what food they ate. After a few weeks you should notice a pattern.
Once you find the pattern then start pinpointing the triggers to the unfocused behavior... in any event you're on the right track.
I might also note that the defeciency of some nutrients may contribute also. Make sure to suppliment with natural vitamins and perhaps a "Greens" formula.
