[QUOTE="Tiapet, post: 581264, member: 455"] Jody...I want to throw something out here to you for you to think on and yes, it's a quick thing to even test out...My son has violent rages. They get 100% WORSE as he has a food allergy to corn (which is in just about everything since there are derivatives under many names). I first discovered this with my oldest difficult child (who is 21 now). The violence you are experiencing "might" be being triggered by such a thing. I'm not saying it definitely is but.....pay attention to the foods she has and is eaten. Ketchup, candy, syrup, etc....for my son there is a trigger that sets him off into the violence very often. It's saying no, interrupting him from playing a game (or something else he is engaged in) if he's had a "bad food", there are some others. if we just leave him alone when we know he's had something he will yell and scream but he won't get violent.

The clue is really observing her eating and then reactions/behaviors afterwards. There are also some physical signs you can look for such as: her pupils will dilate to huge black saucer looking, red ears, dark circles under eyes, she may rub her nose a lot like it's itchy.
