I am happy that you found reddyefree to be helpful. I just added an awesome app that I have nothing personally to do with, but I thought that it could help people new to avoiding artificial colors (Like yourself). The app is fooducate and you can download it to any Iphone, or Android phone that is capable and have a handy tool to shop with. Just scan the barcode and it gives you a list of harmful additives (if any) and a food grade. <br /> If you are finding results now, just wait until you get really good at eliminating artificial colors and the result of your child's behavior will amaze you! I used to have those nights of crying too - wondering what the heck was wrong with my child and what went wrong. I wish you the best! <br />CaylaMom4Changehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12304683029340731199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6726574137228515719.post-23560047318589589292011-10-17T21:37:16.796-07:002011-10-17T21:37:16.796-07:00I'm glad I heard about this from you.

I am trying it with Charlotte since there have been so many days that I've pulled out my hair and sat down and cried saying 'I don't know why she has so many bad days. I don't know what else to do.' It's been 2 days without red dye 40 (and yellow 5 & 6) and she's had more moderate days. I'm hoping to see an improvement over the next few weeks. Let us know how it goes with Sawyer!Salinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10297639346021932110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6726574137228515719.post-10746870450544216112011-10-12T19:40:30.500-07:002011-10-12T19:40:30.500-07:00you know whats funny, anon - its not even ME who s...you know whats funny, anon - its not even ME who should be reading a book like that - its her teachers lol <br /><br />i have zero problems with sawyer, really. she just is the type of kid that doesnt need a crowd if you want her to listen. she wants to be funny, outgoing, make people laugh -- so a teacher saying from across the room "hey, sawyer! can you ____" is just calling for her to say "nope!!" lol <br /><br />after emailing her teacher a few ideas of how we are at home - i think she got the point bc sawyer has been having stellar days at school. she is spirited - but she always has been. and the LAST thing i want is to kill that spirit ;) but i told her teachers the same thing - that i want to foster it correctly instead of making her just... stop, kwim?aidkaid19https://www.blogger.com/profile/17847971186473978655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6726574137228515719.post-65633561739449220872011-10-12T15:46:07.490-07:002011-10-12T15:46:07.490-07:00Good job giving up the red dye and happy to hear y...Good job giving up the red dye and happy to hear you are seeing results! She sounds a lot like my son and I have figured out he is what they call "spirited." he has typical three year old behavior but it is more intense in all directions. When he is mad he is reallly mad but when heis happy he is the smiliest and most outgoing kid you'll ever see. Raising your spirited child is a book I've been reading and so far it's defined him to a t. Just another thought of what could be going on!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6726574137228515719.post-85716210866600246202011-10-10T14:23:02.143-07:002011-10-10T14:23:02.143-07:00Seriously, this is something that I am going to tr...Seriously, this is something that I am going to try. My daughter is the same age as Sawyer and we are dealing with similar behavior. It seems to get worse as the day wears on but now I'm thinking it's just the food. Interesting. Thanks for bringing this up.yoko589https://www.blogger.com/profile/04912042756663610050noreply@blogger.com
