DDs have been away for the week with her dad. DD2 (7yo) mentioned that she had had some lemonade and then felt really strange. She said she felt very busy in her head and was talking really fast and said that her dad said she sounded a bit mad or manic ( she couldn’t remember the exact word he used). She said the next day she felt grumpy. I think it was quite a big deal to her as she really wanted to tell me all about it.
She doesn’t often drink fizzy drinks other than appletizer and doesn’t like squash. She said everyone else at the table had Diet Coke and they were all fine.
Could it be a reaction to sweeteners? Assuming it was diet lemonade. Exh hasn’t replied to my text on the subject and will probably tell me I am overreacting. Do I need to do anything about it other than avoid sweeteners?
