Suggest Treatment For Attention Problems In Kid

My 10 year old son was having attention problems in school but also have frequent headaches and stomach aches so we finally went to see our pediatrician and found that his thyroid levels and iron levels were not where they were supposed to be. We now have thyroid and iron levels in check but still have the attention problems. We have also had ct scan which was clear and seen an allergist who found that he was allergic to dairy, pork and pecans and several molds and pollens. We cut all foods from his diet for about 3 weeks before we returned to the allergist and did not notice any changes so he told us to reintroduce the dairy and see if we see any changes. None so far. We are being pressured by school but my son is still getting average a's and b's. The only problem is his tests (math) which are d's and f's. Any ideas?
