[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 75263, member: 1991"] Depending on where the food comes from, the labels may be a little different - we have a different numbering code in Australia, I think it's similar to Europe. For us, tartrazine is 102, brilliant scarlet is 124 and indigo carmine is 132 - there are OUR family allergies, anyway. And I do mean allergies! But seriously, there should be a comprehensive list somewhere - FDA, perhaps? A consumers organisation? But you really do need more medical involvement in this, to make it easier on you and speed up the process. Christmas is NOT a good time to do it - too much yummy food which you won't let him eat. I had to relax difficult child 3's diet in time for Christmas, with the dietician's blessing. They knew from experience that the most compliant kid will sneak food over Christmas if you try to be too rigid then. It can be done during school term, but not easily. We did it then. Holidays were easier, though. In the meantime - Google "additive code breaker" and you should get an Aussie one, at the very least. if nothing else it will give you a list to track down the US label for, if it doesn't already give that to you.
