[QUOTE="Josie, post: 74832, member: 1792"] It does seem that you will have to do your own elimination diet or do one of the blood tests. I have never done the blood tests because they are expensive and somewhat controversial. I have also heard that they will give you a whole list of things to avoid. But it might be a good way to figure out where to start with the elimination diet. Since you already suspect food dyes, you could start with that. There are lots of things that he would like that don't have any food dyes. Not necessarily healthy foods but at this point, in my humble opinion, it is most important to get him to comply with your rules about what he eats. You might have to make your own treats for him. I promised my girls that if there was a treat at school they couldn't have, they could tell me after school and I would make sure they got a treat then. I also made sure I sent them treats and junk food snacks that they would like to eat so they wouldn't eat their friends' food. I have also told my older daughter that if I even think she is cheating, I will have to follow her around. I did actually show up at her lunch one day, so she knows I mean it. My younger one gets a stomach ache if she eats something she shouldn't so she has her own negative consequence. What was his diet last year? How did he do then? [/QUOTE]
