on how to modify a menu for good results.

Failsafe eating

Here's a simple way to start:
§  switch to preservative free bread (Brumbys or Bakers Delight if
possible)
§  drink water (bottled, spring, filtered or tap if it tastes OK)
instead of juice or cordial
§  avoid artificial colours in lollies etc (Wethers Originals are
colour free, but save lollies for treats)
§  avoid flavour enhancers (600 numbers) in noodles, Shapes
etc (plain noodles, crackers like Saladas are OK)
§  avoid preservatives in processed foods SEE LIST BELOW
§  avoid broccoli, tomato, citrus, grapes and their products.
§  switch to a2milk if available (see www.a2australia.com.au)
 
Some families see a big improvement just by cutting down.
Others will get best results by doing a full elimination diet, Free
of Additives, Low in Salicylates, Amines and Flavour Enhancers
(failsafe).
