Sue
Dengate's bestseller Fed Up opened the eyes of thousands of desperate
parents to the adverse effects of synthetic additives and natural chemicals in
foods. Based on groundbreaking research, Fed Up showed that learning
difficulties, behavioural problems and minor chronic illnesses in children and
adults can all be the result of intolerances to food chemicals. Now, in this
comprehensive Failsafe Cookbook, Sue has written and compiled hundreds
of new and improved recipes for all kinds of occasions, as well as detailed
information about the science of food intolerance and low chemical elimination
diets.

'Are you
affected by food additives?'
What we eat has
changed dramatically over the last 30 years, and so have our children.
Behaviour and learning problems, asthma, depression, youth suicide and teenage
violent crime are all increasing. Many parents find that raising children is
not the joyful experience they were expecting, and I was one of them.
When my first baby
was born, my life revolved around trying to get an unsettled baby to sleep.
Then she grew into the terrible twos and never grew out. On good days she was
charming, adorable and clever, but on her frequent bad days she was demanding,
dissatisfied, grouchy, easily annoyed, argumentative, defiant, took hours to
get to sleep and woke frequently. We had expected her to do well at school but
she struggled with schoolwork.
For 11 years I did
the rounds of doctors, baby-health nurses, psychologists, teachers, school
counsellors, alternative practitioners, tutors, physiotherapists, dietitians
and many more. I was told I was a bad mother; to use better behaviour
management; to pour myself a stiff gin; to learn to live with it; that I needed
medication; that she needed medication. After years of sleep deprivation, my
marriage was at breaking point, and so was my sanity.
Of all the remedies
we were offered, most helped a little. We tried various diets, for six years
avoiding additives, sugar and dairy foods, but it wasn’t until she did a
24-hour water-only fast in hospital at the age of 11 that I finally saw the
daughter I’d always wanted. Under our eyes she became settled, calm, polite,
interesting, intelligent and fun to be with. ‘That’s the child I want!’ I said.
Our paediatrician finally believed that her problems were food-related, and we
started a three-week trial of a low salicylate diet.
