Brilliant idea Salad!

My DD does not have intolerances as such but I am very keen to avoid unnecessary additives where possible.

My mother gave me a copy of the DVD "Fed Up" when DD was born and it is a brilliant reference for outlining the repercussions of giving children additives and aggravating foods. The effects are so wide ranging and it is amazing to believe what can come from eating such simple everyday foods. It is just so daunting though... so many pitfalls when we try to be careful.

I am really looking forward to what others have to say about their experiences, and creating a good quick reference for people like myself who are a little clueless!!

Your summary there is a great start. I am going to take a copy and work from there.
