I will definitely try the magnesium supplement. I have one that I bought for him when he was a baby and was having a very hard time sleeping, but hadn't thought of it. He is already in bed for the night, but I will try it out tomorrow evening.

Feingold

The Feingold foodlist is only one part of the Feingold membership. And, of course, the foodlist is only one part of being on the Program. http://www.feingold.org/programbig.html Failsafe eliminates more and you still need a list of food products that have been researched for your part of the country. There is a lot of information at www.feingold.org

I am definitely feeling much more confident as the days go by with his improvement each day. I am going to keep a list of high salicylate foods with me and avoid them if I can, but if not, I am not going to stress out about it too much at this point. I need to tackle this slowly and within my VERY limited budget. We are on food stamps currently and because of a paperwork error (on the part of social services), we have no $$ for food this month. I am trying to make sure DS has enough to eat that is healthy, with no processed sugar and no additives, but beyond that, I can't do too much.

I also have a call in to his ped and am waiting to hear back from her for a possible evaluation. I will figure this out, but I have a feeling it may be a long road.

On a side note, does anyone know of any "safe" treats for a kiddo on the Feingold/FAILSAFE program? I would love at least one "cookie" to have for him if he goes somewhere for a celebration where others are having a treat too.

I talked to my sister and she reminded me that Braden cannot have any sugar either or high glycemic foods. For sweetener, she uses agave nectar.
So I looked around and this cookie looks good

Feingold safe treat.

How about Sunspire candies. They are M&M type candies.

Thank-you for that recipe. I have heard of agave, and that recipe looks great. I am wondering if I could cut the syrup down even more. I might have to make a few batches and see what I can adjust. It definitely wouldn't be a regular treat, but it would be a help for a special occasion.

I have seen these, but they are still pretty hard core straight sugar, right? I don't know all that much about them really though. I am assuming there are no artificial colors in them. Plus, I really don't want him thinking that "candy" is suddenly ok right now. Something to keep in the back of my mind though.

Please check out the Feingold Assocition www.feingold.org It is a great place to be or just to start. Knowing which brand to buy IS important due to all the hidden ingredients of preservatives, etc. A child as small as a 3 year old would show the sensitivities so much more than a bigger person BTW, membership is so much more than its foodlist! Being on an elimination diet is more than knowing what brands to buy. Membership in the Feingold Association helps you with situations, support, etc. If you are hesitant to put out the money right now, read the labels on the products you buy, etc. Also check out the Yahoo group.
