[QUOTE="gwend1, post: 606694, member: 15994"] My daughter is 8 and her rages were becoming increasingly violent. She had gone from throwing things randomly when she was angry (at least 3 times a week and I don't think there was a day that was happy from morning to night) to intentionally throwing things at me and hitting me. Three months ago we began the Feingold diet. It removes all food dyes, preservatives and natural chemicals called salicylates. It has been nothing less than miraculous for her. We've had about 2.5 months of much better behavior and we have just experienced three full weeks with no rages (and we would have gone longer but the second stage of the diet you reintroduce healthy foods to see if your child reacts and our first food trial prompted an enormous reaction) Not only is she rage-free (and that would have been enough - you know?) but she is happy, easy and I am getting comments from her teacher and principal about how well she is doing in school (It felt so good and I realized it had never happened before :( ) The idea of the diet is hard, it means no eating out, looking up every brand you buy - until you get used to it, but it has been a dream come true for us. I don't think it will work for everyone, because I don't think every child has the same biochemical challenges behind their behavior - but given our results I have to encourage everyone to think about it. Interestingly, the science behind it is really just starting to become clear even though the diet has been around since the 70's. The research is supporting a deficient or overloaded phenol sulfotranferase enzyme system that can't process additives and phenols/salicylates. In addition to leaving toxins, the system is also involved in the production on neurotransmitters. I know how scary and hard it is...and how tired you are. I do wish you the best. [/QUOTE]
