    Salad. Haven't read your other thread, and am certainly no expert, but will offer my experience with what you asked.

    My two cyclones () had a great deal of trouble chilling out, so I asked this very question. I did look into the failsafe diet, but I wasn't plussed with it. not because it was too hard, but because my kids diet is extremely varied with lots of different non processed foods and I didn't want to limit them to only a few. I wanted a way around to help without causing another problem.
    I printed off their additive list and I use that when shopping. I also read the book you mentioned and follow that.
    Basically i aim for as little processed food as possible, I switched to either Bakers delight or Wollies bread (without nasty preservatives). Ummmm the only biscuits I buy are arrowroot or plain rice crackers, grapes/strawberries like you mentioned are a treat only occasionally. I only buy preservative/additive free products.

    It has really helped. DD is much more chilled out and DS isn't so angry. However, it hasn't helped his sleep any, but we have since discovered another issue for him, and are in the process of sorting that out.

    HTH a little.

    Thanks Kim, I have also picked myself up a copy of Additive Alert tonight, I need to educate myself. I am the same as you I dont want there to be nothing left for DD to eat but I want to be aware of what is in food and better product choices. We have a pretty good diet as is but I guess there are many things I didnt/dont know about such as the grapes.
    Thanks for your reply.
