You may be teased if you want more or less covering than others. But having a body that changes quickly with even a small change in temperature can mean you feel the distress of being overheated, or feel far too cold. People often do no believe you can have your driving experience upset by air flow that is no bother to them. Or you notice a draught of air from a window open at night that others insist is closed. If your child is temperature sensitive you will learn to carry more clothes when the … [Read more...]

The Feingold Diet – a 2021 update
If you look on the internet you will see that the kids whose behaviour and hyperactivity improve on the Feingold diet are those where there is some connection with their genes. This is great news as it recognises that the diet does work for some kids, and that where improvement happens it is connected to some factor in their family.In 2010, an FDA panel released a report based on many studies of the Feingold diet. The report found that artificial food colours, flavours, or preservatives likely … [Read more...]
1975: Reducing additives has impact!
Parents told me about children who had never slept through a night in their whole three years who slept normally when put on the additive free low salicylate diet. They even checked they were alive because they were so still when asleep! Some parents reported children sitting still really playing with a toy when they had never sat still for a moment in their short lives.

Why don’t children eat vegetables?

Is this a usual six year old pattern or does it remind you more of a two or three year old, except that a baby food dinner would have been eaten in the evening.WHY DOES IT … [Read more...]
The Milk Ladder has branches
I like the idea of thinking that "the milk ladder has branches" as that way we think of something organic like a tree with branches, with different food-sensitive families working out which factors may matter most to a food sensitive person or their child when they want to test milk for tolerance, rather than a series of steps that follow one from another. Where there are any concerns about a serious reaction discuss your plan with your dietitian or doctor. Testing milk tolerance is complex but … [Read more...]
Moist ginger cake, with no ginger!
My mother used to make this lovely soft cake so I rewrote the recipe without the ginger and it tastes darkly caramel with the brown sugars and syrup and a dash of treacle.It is fun adapting recipes for the Low Chemical Diet as you can adjust amounts depending on your tolerance of salicylate, and the size of your piece of cake each day. Diet tolerance hint: You can decide if you use any dark brown sugar or treacle at all. I have used a little of both here to give a rich flavour. … [Read more...]
