Hey Leash I hope its okay to ask this (and I hope this isnt a silly question) but how do you know what preservative your child has a reaction too? Is there some sort of test that can be done? Do they come up with an allergic reaction and then do you have to pin point which additive in the food they are allergic to?

Its awful to hear how Jazz and yourself have been affected by food additives.

I dont understand why they arent banned. Seems crazy when it can make people so sick.
hope you dont mind me answering this as well, with Jack I had this month of OMG shocking wanting to shoot myself behavior from him, a friends said had he been eating or drinking anything new in the previous month well he had been having a weak cordial which was new thing, it had 2 preservatives 211 and 223, so we eliminated everything that had both, we knew from him being given a cheerio at 18mths his body didn't liek them he was hypo for 2 nights after 1 cheerio... so he hadn't had those, anyway after we stopped cordial and majority of juices not that he was having much but enough...he returned to normal Jack behaviour...

anyway we discovered cheerios have pres 223..so we started letting him have some juice that had 211 he was fine then gave him a cordial and OMG.... so we knew pres 223 was like I suppose how people used to refer to red food with hyperactivity
