What are salycylates (sp)?

[PeachyClair]

DS1 was advised today to avoid salycylates as they may be worsening his aggression. I'm quite keen due to possible broken toe he inflicted (!), however all I know is that they are in OJ, apples and raisins- ie his entire diet! Does anyone have any ideas of where else it is, or what is safe please?

NB: leaflet coming to us but don't want to await RM!

think it might be in broccoli, dd goes completely hyper after eating it mentioned it on another thread ages ago and some one said broccoli could be causing it didnt know about the raisins she eats loads of them as well!! think im just going to have to live with hyper child

hmm apples grapes broccoli and carrots make up most of her diet!! there was me thinking home cooked food was good for her looks like im the cause of her mad moments!! they always happen about 6pm after dinner!

Thanks- whizzz to the rescue again

not entirely sure what foods are left he'll eat! I shall have to be inventive. Dietician said pineapple OK, think he might be about to turn into one!

nulnulcat- exactly how I feel, you keep them off the chocs / colourings /aspartame and crisps then they take away all this!

ds was like this but he has now thankfully grown out of it by and large

i definitely avoided oj as a big culprit

(I cna't spell salycylates either jimjams can)

ds diet was mainly pasta, natural yogurt, tuna, no veg ecept potato

no fruit

chicken
cheese
taramasalta
cucumber
ham
crisps
shreddies

chocolate build up

umm

he has just started eating green undercooked french beans

eh I posted that message ages ago
