[quote=Anonymous]I know this is going to sound strange but it can't hurt to try. Look up the Feingold Diet. When my son was 3 he would have huge tantrums. He would throw, hit and scream. He could not be calmed. It went on daily for hours. He verbalized to me that he was scared when it happened. He couldn't call himself down. These weren't typical tantrums. We were at wits end and certain that he would end up needing psychiatric intervention. Around the same time I read somewhere about how some kids have behavioral reactions to food dyes. I thought it was a long shot but what harm could come from experimenting with going dye free? Well after a few weeks he was much improved. So improved that his ST, OT and teachers also noted the difference. A few times over the first years his behavior would regress and I was able to trace it back to accidental ingestion of dyes each time. What was tough is that dyes hide in places you might not suspect including toothpaste and medicine. [/quote]
