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). Email for a list of failsafe dietitians: confoodnet@ozemail.com.au
