OK, now I'm leaving myself open to get chewed up with this, cause I

mentioned this in the past and never got an answer except for one

irritated answer, but I am not looking for that I just want all to

realize.

I believe it is page 90 (I leant my book out) of " Special Doets for

Special Kids " by , there is a list of " items to always avoid on

a GFCF diet " and artificial colors is listed on that list, so I am just

so curious why so many of everyone choose to still give artificial

colors.

I give no artificial colors or flavors, no nitrates and this diet has

shown me such positive results with my son and tremendous gains, that I

was wondering if more of everyone removed these things (at least the

artificial colors, since it is on the list to ALWAYS AVOID) would the

childs progress on this diet be improved.

Just a thought I wanted to kick out there !!

,

I understand that artificial colors are not the ideal (that's why I

put a ( next to them!), but I am also a realist. My ASD son is the

youngest of 5 kids, all of whom have been eating candy since before

he was born. I'm trying to find ways to please ALL my children- You

should have seen the rejoicing I did when I finally found Quaker

Cocoa Blasts!! I rarely give Brett candy (in fact, he doesn't like

it all that much), but the other children, being kids, leave things

like used sucker sticks on the table, and Brett, being 3, sometimes

picks them up.

I'm happy to hear that you're able to be so careful about what you

bring in the house- I'd have 4 extremely resentful children if I was

that careful.

Hugs to your little one!
