Yes, take ritalin in consideration! How do we know what was the chain cascade in her body? DO NOT change her diet just to try! I quite agree with big lemon, except for trying pregnenolone or DHEA....
I also agree to look into the copper direction. The problem is that blood levels of copper and zinc are not useful alone, to know what is going on, and a hair test should be added because it can say something about the mineral ratios.
For lentils, I would use only the red ones because they come without shell, also split peas. And still soak and wash them well. For rice, I would go half whole... so that she feels still nourished.
It is always good to take care of liver. I guess you make salads: good to start a meal, with cider apple vinegar and olive oil. Bitter greens in the salad. For fruits now and in your climate, I guess you have apples and pears and quince! Make a compote every evening with cinnamon, it helps liver and guts and bile flow.
Do you know how is her liver?
Totally encourage her towards natural foods, but tell her that it is more about the processing and industrialisation, and that she can find good tastes with natural food as well, and that some plants also have their protection and that there are toxic things in nature too. Hey you all, respect that she has associated her former life with mac donald stuff, and respect that she wants to eat natural! It is a good key for her recovery, and she has to learn to listen to herself. She does it great, she has attraction to some foods that not all people like!
But really, due to what you said, learn about phytic acid and lectins. Soak and clear and wash many times only half whole rice. Rice cannot sprout anyway. Use legumes that are shell-free as I said. The problem is with flour. Really, grais can drain her of minerals. You can also test for gluten sensitivity. Can she eat dairy?
If she likes meat, it means she needs zinc, which is good. It also means her stomach makes sufficient acid, good. I do not like when people start to have problems with tolerating meat, bad sign. Cereals can depleat zinc as well as iron, throguh the phytic acid.
