High Phenol foods that may need to be avoided

[Guest guest]

This article addresses, again, problems children with ADHD or autism have had. I'm just drawing a connection between the foods that have caused brain fog and a low sulfation problem, and wondering if anyone else has had problems with these foods. I know I did. I don't think this list is all-inclusive, but I had problems with some of these foods for sure. In fact, I suddenly tested allergic to chocolate after my implants. I also had night sweats. Just a thought in the process of investigation what some of us have gone through. PattyHigh Phenol Foods

Phenolics are chemicals naturally occurring in many foods but may also be present in additives. Sensitive children have a threshold for tolerance.Parents need to monitor total load of phenols through the day to avoid tipping the child into a reaction from the accumulated phenols.

Phenolic compounds give colour, taste, flavour and smell to foods. They are also present in salicylates, amines, colours and preservatives.

High phenol foods include:

–food dyes, – apples, – bananas, –oranges

–cocoa, –milk./cheese –carob

-tomatoes, -peanuts, -chocolate

-orange juice -red grapes -Vanillin flavour

-Strong odours

Typical possible reactions to an over accumulation of phenolic foods in a sensitive child may include some of the following:

• Red ears and/or face • Night sweats • Smelly head /bed/stools-acrid • Bloated stomach, rash, thirst • Poor toxin removal • Poor tolerance of high phenol foods • Dark circles under the eyes • Hyperactivity, aggression • Headache, head banging or other self-injury • Inappropriate laughter • Difficulty falling asleep at night, and night waking for several hours
