Ribonucleotide flavour enhancer 635 is found in Bisto gravies – in all the standard and ‘best’ ranges, used together with MSG. Also now found in Cheetos, the cheese flavoured snack I used to have as a kid. It is not safe for everybody. It should be banned, or at the least foods containing it should be made to clearly declare it on the label and stop trying to hide it, as I’m often finding is the case. Since January this year (it’s now June) my forehead and cheeks have reddened and reddened. A…

I bought a block of cheese  from Trader Joe's called Port Salut and it was covered with Annatto extract.  Over the course of a few days I ate the entire block that was 0.7 lbs (about 300g).     Last night I finished it and had it after dinner with slices of apples.  I DID NOT SLEEP ALL NIGHT and in the morning i woke up from half sleeping with a sudden wave of extreme trembling and nervousness that felt like I was poisoned.  I even took a Xanax and it didn't…

Thank you soooo much for saving me from going round the bend, AGAIN!!! I have had food sensitivities for such a long time, but they still 'get me' every now and again! First it was the temper tantrums (luckily I live on my own!), then it's bursting into tears!! I have stopped all dairy and eggs about 1 week ago, I am ok for quite a while with them and then wham, watch out!! I am 82! - XXX Sarah I don't know what caused it, but for 14 years I suffered from frequent diarrhea and abdominal pain…

I would like to thank you for your website. I found you a few years ago when I had a burning mouth reaction to potassium sorbate (E202). I wondered whether it was just me, and apparently not. I live in the UK and potassium sorbate seems to be in everything. At the time, the whole failsafe diet seemed unnecessary to me. But since then I have had to eat my words. It would seem to be very necessary indeed. I come from a family who can and do eat everything and seem to do just fine on it. My main…

I am trying to understand why I am so sick all the time, especially when following diets that seem very healthy. I found your video after joining a Salicylate Sensitivity support group on Facebook and going through their guides. They recommended going through the information on www.fedup.com.au and so I am starting there. So far, my doctors have not been helpful in finding out what is wrong with me and I feel my primary care physician thinks I am a hypochondriac. I have had allergy blood testi…

Trehalose intolerance, or Trehalase Deficiency, is a rare genetic condition where the body can't break down trehalose (a sugar found naturally in mushrooms, baker’s and brewer’s yeast, honey and some shellfish and dried foods) due to missing the enzyme trehalase, leading to symptoms like diarrhea, gas, bloating, and stomach pain after eating trehalose-containing foods. Management involves avoiding these foods, as there's no cure, though it's often confused with IBS due to similar symptoms and i…

COURAGE AWARD I had years of debilitating and depressing CFS/ Post Viral Syndrome after Hepatitis A in 1987, when I was in my mid 30s. I had severe brain fog and very little time in the day when I could function. It was humiliating being told I was malingering, unfit, mentally unstable /and so on. The brain fog made driving dangerous, I found myself driving through red lights completely unaware. I would have to write down my address and phone number for any official telephone conversation. A…

Sue is a saint thank you for this  - comment on new high definition version of the FREE video of Fed Up with Children's Behaviour  Thanks so much for sharing your Fed Up with Food Intolerance ebook. I had many mental and physical health challenges throughout my life and I recently found out food is a major contributor. Your book helped me a lot! – Ahmed UK As a person that has appreciated this site immensely over the past few years I periodically recommend it to other as a good plac…

I was recently accused by a young whipper snapper on another forum who told me I was obviously not willing to progress in my knowledge about new info because the RPAH diet has been found to be no longer current and up to date.... Responses I’ve been told the same by a dietician but I’m not sure what they recommend instead and there’s no doubt that we’re reacting to non-failsafe foods! - Anne There doesn't seem to be anything in the way of reliable scientific evidence to support ditching the…

My daughter is in her third week of the Elimination Diet. Her symptoms are almost entirely gone. This is our second go - the first time was 5 years ago and I wasn't clear on her responses to both S and A's. Looking back I think we didn't give it enough time, only 6-7 days for each challenge – Terri Our family cut out food additives 25 years ago when my kids were young and feral. It was life changing to our wellbeing, sleep, anxiety concentration, migraines, tummy aches / IBS, ADHD and the abil…
