[QUOTE="Marg's Man, post: 524265, member: 4085"] I'm surprised Marg didn't mention it. We had a definite problem with easy child 1 when she only a baby (about 6 months I think) with Tartrazine which is the yellow of choice in a great many foods. We lucked out because it was in the infant formula of a medicine she was taking for thrush and could not have come from elsewhere. She went from easy child to difficult child in about 72 hours. 30 years ago most people didn't believe us when we told them it was a food colour although some of the reds were starting to be recognised as problems. With easy child 1 we found that we had to be really careful because she was so sensitive to Tartrazine that the smallest amount would set her off; and it was everywhere because yellow is used in green, orange and many other colours as well. We got very adept at spotting it on food labels. Identifying which colour is setting your kid off calls for eliminating ALL colours and reintroducing them one by one. You might short cut the process by seeing if she gets worse after eating some particularly strongly coloured food and eliminating that colour from her diet. Just my $0.02 worth. Marg's Man [/QUOTE]
