Baby won't sleep
When she was born, our daughter’s inability to sleep dominated our lives. That was more than 30 years ago.
Now available as a cheap printed book that you can share with your friends!
Since then I have devoted my life to spreading the word about the magic answer that had taken us 9 years to discover: the elimination diet from Sydney’s Royal Prince Alfred Hospital.
Inspiring new blog from Sue Dengate on this most-searched Google question. With answers about whether it might be food causing the problem and which foods.
Zoom talk on ADHD by Sue Dengate
To find out more/book tickets visit https://www.adhdsupportaustralia.com.au/events/
The talk commences 7pm AEST (Sydney time) Thursday 8 September for 1 hour.
Fermented wheat flour = bread preservative
Major supermarkets are changing what they sell. Always read the label!
Helga, Abbotts, Wonder and Lawson breads ALWAYS contain the hidden bread preservative as "fermented wheat flour" or "cultured wheat flour" (except for some of their gluten-free products).
But if a Coles supermarket does NOT have an instore bakery, then their bread will contain hidden bread preservative. If it does have an instore bakery, then Coles plain breads remain free of preservatives.
Woolworths may also be changing. Please tell us if you see hidden additives in their plain breads!
Again: ALWAYS READ THE LABEL! AVOID 'CULTURED' or 'FERMENTED' anything. More at https://www.fedup.com.au/news/blog/hidden-additives#propionate
BITING as a food reaction
A daycare director asked:
"A two and a half year old girl is a problem because she bites the staff and other children. Could that be related to diet?"
Our readers say: yes, diet can cause children to bite adults, other children, or even themselves (self-harming).
Reader reports
"My son was a chronic biter … after seeing … about the additive 282 I took him off that bread and he stopped biting" - from story [381]
“… when my daughter was 4 years old, overnight she became utterly unmanageable… she was melting down 4-10 times a day … she started hurting herself … she would bite her arms … Was anything different in our diet? … YES … bread … 282 preservative … I threw it in the bin. The meltdowns and self harming stopped the next day , three days before we re-visited the paediatrician to be told there was nothing wrong with her and that it was a parenting issue" – from story [1296]

Death in the Pot
Written over 200 years ago, in 1820, this book was about the use of harmful additives in common foods and drinks.
It was met with wide public acclaim and action. The author was driven out of the country by the food industry.

[1646] Mood swings as a major food symptom (facebook responses) (August 2022)
Does anyone else have mood swings as a major food symptom? I appear to get drastic mood swings when exposed to certain foods, the reaction is delayed but severe and lasts for days - Zoe
Yes, absolutely. That and sleep disturbance are major symptoms for me - Dean
Main reason we put my son on this was to manage emotions and behaviour - Penny
Yes definitely. I find tomato chocolate and cheese are my worst triggers, and anything with preservatives in it. Also no sleep and very anxious - Lee
Not so much moods as brain fog which sort of slips over to appearing to have a mood 😳 - Jill
Sadly yes - fresh dairy cause me behavioural problems, violent & aggressive alternating with sadness (like depression) so much that I’ve been df for 40+ yrs – Josie
[1645] Could a stutter be a food symptom? (facebook responses) (August 2022)
I fear my 3yo could be developing a stutter! Is this a symptom of eating something non failsafe? - Sam
For my daughter it’s glutamates and also a lack of zinc and B6 contributes for her. It’s amazing how quickly it cleared once I got those 3 things under control - Emily
I know I stutter worse if I’ve overdone salicylates or perfume exposures, so yes, it could be anything non-failsafe - Carmen
Some children also just go through a phase of this as they are learning to speak. Their brains are going quicker than their skills allow them. Both my girls went through this and neither of them have food intolerances. They just need patience - Maria
Mine too went from articulate toddler to clawing at her mouth to get her words out. Mine needed treatment which was successful although lengthy – Greg
My kids both stutter when amines are high. Speak beautifully if they are eating well - Ella
I find this so interesting! Some days I have real problems with speaking. My tongue gets all tangled up and it takes me 3 or 4 tries to get the correct word out. I feel like an idiot! I just put it down to old age and the brain not working properly. I also get some forms of migraine where I completely lose speech for about a half hour – Josie
See blog on Diet-induced stuttering with link to factsheet
[1644] Symptoms if not failsafe (facebook thread) (August 2022)
What are your symptoms when you don't eat failsafe? For me I just feel more irritable and emotionally worse. I think I get itchy skin because of it and also I had restless legs syndrome (RLS) but more due to anxiety – Leo
Bloating, itchy skin, facial flushing, restless leg syndrome. The RLS is the most random symptom isn’t it lol. At first I thought my RLS was due to me coming off Zoloft but I’m back on them again and cut out salicylates and it’s completely gone away. I challenged salicylates and it came back later that night-super weird !! – Lydia
For me it's nausea, insomnia, extreme fatigue, headache with visual aura, bowel movement alterations, stomach cramps, restless legs, mood swings, rosacea, difficulty swallowing, brain fog, cough, and bloating. I think that's pretty much it (!). I may get several at the same time or just one, depending on the day. Some foods trigger some of the symptoms more than others - Terrie
Salicylates start off a sore throat earache and rhinitis and builds up to wheezing and breathless. If amines it’s over emotional cranky intolerant angry. It was so good to find out why I’ve been this way my whole life. I’m 62 now. I’m not just a cranky bitch after all - Renee
Oh gosh, our amines reactions are the same! Honestly don’t know how my husband can stand me – Anne
Bloating, gut cramps, itchy shins, itchy back, itchy ears, irritable – Leah
[1643] “Pain in my hands, fingers for 6 years” (August 2022)
I endured pain in my hands, fingers for 6 years. Had tests for arthritis which were negative. It got so bad at night I couldn’t pull the sheets up over me in bed because my fingers would not bend. Nothing helped, until I monitored my eating habits.
I stopped eating everything that came in a can, tin, packet, or sauce bottle and started preparing my food from fresh. My fingers, hands, pain subsided. I then found this group, and found out I’m salicylates, amines, gluten, and dairy intolerant. The pain only returns if I mistakenly eat something I shouldn’t – Kerrie
See Arthritis, joint pain and diet factsheet
[1642] Pregnant women beware: autism diagnosis after eating “cultured dextrose” (August 2022)
Years ago, a new mother (I’ll call her Beth) sent us a list of what she ate while trying to see whether food was causing her baby’s constant crying and inability to sleep. The problem turned out to be “cultured dextrose” in their daily bread. “But I thought cultured dextrose was a type of yoghurt!” Beth explained. Like most consumers, she had no idea it was another name for propionate preservatives such as 282 that she was trying to avoid.
This year, Beth contacted us again. Her daughter - now 9 years old - had just been diagnosed with autism. In the meantime, Florida researchers (Abdelli et al, 2019) had warned that propionate preservatives in early pregnancy could be linked to ASD - Sue Dengate.
More info in our blogs: Harm from bread preservative confirmed and Caution cultured dextrose
[1642] ASD: “The results were almost instantaneous” (August 2022)
I was introduced to failsafe in 2012 by a dietician who recommended it for me. After reading some of the experiences of people who’d tried failsafe, I convinced my then 6yo undiagnosed ASD daughter to give it a try. The results were almost instantaneous – she went from having 45-60 minute meltdowns every day to having none. It changed our lives for the better – Lou
[1641] 160b: Annatto allergy with "large painful pimples" on face (August 2022)
I first became aware that annatto was a problem when I was in my thirties. I have always had sensitive skin but really couldn’t understand why I was still getting large, painful pimples so long after my teenage years (and still getting them at 74 if I don’t read the ingredient info carefully). A friend suggested that maybe I was allergic to cheese and so, looking carefully at cheese labels in the supermarket, I noticed the additional ingredient, annatto. It was a lightbulb moment. I then looked carefully at the ingredients of everything every time I went shopping and was astonished to see how often annatto was added to all sorts of products. Now in Europe and UK it is not added because of the allergic reaction it can cause, but I now notice the use of ‘paprika powder’ instead and this also has the same effect on my skin. The spots that I get are always situated around the mouth, nose and chin - Deborah UK
[1640] Diet helps us all - from son's eczema/asthma/speech delay to mother's menopause (July 2022)
Our family has used the Failsafe diet on and off for a about 12 years now. My son was persistently unwell when he was young (from about 18 months plus) and the Failsafe diet was the only thing that worked. You know how difficult it can be to manage this diet in the culture that we live in, but the turnaround in his health was amazing. He went from being a kid covered in eczema, non-stop ear infections, terrible asthma and limited speech to a well and happy boy.
At the time I used to think "Where does this food sensitivity come from?". Now I know. It's me! For the last 18 months I have used the Failsafe diet to help me through menopause. My main symptoms have been anxiety (from salicylates) and migraine (from amines). The diet also seems to be assisting with my blood sugar regulation at the moment (I've had bouts of hypoglycemia). If I was not on this diet I would be on all kinds of medication and I would be continually distressed. As it is, I feel calm and well while riding through these changes.
Your persistent work in this area is to be highly commended. Our family's health and well-being are due to your efforts. I am deeply grateful to you - Melissa

Q: You say many salicylate content lists on the internet are incorrect. https://low-sal-life.com/ links to Malakar et al (2017) on your site https://fedup.com.au/images/stories/Malakarsalicylate2017.pdf - with different values for some of the foods. Is it valid? - Ruth
A: First, we do not say that ALL internet lists are incorrect, but they are rarely reliable. The difficulty arises in that the original analyses done by Anne Swain were quite crude and included many reactive chemicals that are not exactly salicylates but may have similar effects. On the basis of the original analyses, clinical trials were done at RPAH on probably more than 30,000 patients and the lists that RPAH issue are based on what these trials have confirmed more than upon salicylate analyses.
In other words, 'salicylates' is an umbrella term for a wide range of similar food chemicals which have been proven to affect people.
Second, the Malakar paper uses very specific and modern techniques to isolate exactly salicylate functional groups. Therefore while it is very accurate (if on a limited range of foods), it does not match clinical practice. I am certain that it is accurate and useful for those who react only to salicylates, but there are many other similar chemicals to which people may react. Everyone is different, as we never tire of saying.

Are food intolerances to lactose, gluten and FODMAPs on the rise?
A 2020 internet survey indicated about 25% of the population self-reported food intolerances, an apparent increase from an earlier 20%. The report in The Conversation said that “If you suspect you have a food intolerance it's best to get diagnosed by a doctor, to ensure you are not overlooking a potentially concerning medical problem”. That is good advice, but make sure your doctor also knows something about food intolerance. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2022-06-22/are-food-intolerances-increasing/101171682
Food additive or carcinogen? The growing list of chemicals banned by EU but used in US
While failsafers avoid a restricted list of food additives, there are still some of concern for other reasons. Here is a clear article about the differences in regulation between the EU, which is precautionary, and the US, which like Australia/NZ is slow, cumbersome and driven by the needs of the food industry. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2022/jun/23/titanium-dioxide-banned-chemicals-carcinogen-eu-us
FDA Limits the Use of Certain Plasticizers in Food Packaging and contact applications
In May 2022 the US FDA amended its food additive regulations to no longer permit the use of 23 phthalates and two other substances used as plasticizers, adhesives, defoaming agents, surface lubricants, resins, and slimicides. This follows the May 2022 announcement by EFSA that it would re-evaluate the health risks from plasticisers such as phthalates, structurally similar substances, and substances used to replace phthalates in food contact materials in the EU. FSANZ says their “research ... has consistently found migration of packaging chemicals into Australian foods is very low and presents a negligible risk for Australian consumers”, so no action here. https://www.foodstandards.gov.au/publications/Pages/Survey-of-Plasticisers-in-Australian-Foods.aspx
Charcuterie’s link to colon cancer confirmed by French authorities
French health authorities say they have confirmed a link between nitrates added to processed meat and colon cancer, and now recommend “reducing consumption of the range of nitrates and nitrites by deliberately limiting exposure through food consumption”. As we have been saying for 30 years (eg https://www.fedup.com.au/news/blog/the-end-of-nitrate-nitrite-preservatives). Don’t forget nitrates may not be on the label https://www.fedup.com.au/news/blog/nitrates-not-on-the-label-in-australia-and-nz-another-hidden-additive https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/jul/12/charcuterie-link-colon-cancer-confirmed-french-authorities

Irene says “ladies show your men the video as they will rarely read the book. Watching an hour of a DVD is more comprehensible to the male brain. That is how I got my husband to finally understand our son’s behaviour and to support what I am doing with him. He now has the book in his van and every spare moment he has, he reads it" - from story [717]

How Hot Peppers Can Improve Your Health and Extend Your Life
Failsafers who react to salicylates may know that there is some evidence that taking chilli (or the active ingredient capsaicin) before a meal can reduce their effects. An open trial summarises the evidence at https://www.fedup.com.au/factsheets/support-factsheets/capsaicin-for-management-of-salicylate-intolerance-an-open-trial - basically, chillis contain very high levels of salicylates, but the capsaicin appears to preferentially bind to sites in the gut and so blocks absorption of salicylates.
It is of interest that there may be other benefits, such as lower blood pressure, reduced risk of cancer and reduced inflammation. Maybe the mechanism for some of these benefits is exclusion of salicylates?

Many dietitians are now online and the cost (typically $80 per half hour) can be rebated from most health funds. Ask them when making contact. As one dietitian said,”I use Coviu which is a video conferencing service developed by the CSIRO for Australian allied health workers. It is encrypted end to end so it has a very high privacy. I can show education videos, share documents, patients can fill out forms for me and I can see them in real time so it is going really well”.

The Food Intolerance Network strongly supports the peer-reviewed publication of evidence regarding the effects of salicylates on health, behaviour and learning and acknowledges that more research needs to be published, particularly using dietary salicylates. However the very foundation of science is observation and these observations over many years show an astonishing and convincing range of real symptoms. We hope that they may assist in stimulating further research publication.
Reintroduction guidelines: for people who are extra sensitive, the new RPAH reintroduction guidelines recommend much smaller servings of salicylate and amine containing foods than previously, see reader comment below. Available on request from
Thank you so much for the new RPAH reintroduction recommendations. I now understand why when I tried to ascertain my tolerance levels and did as my dietician recommended (try 1/2 a cup of salicylates) that my symptoms returned very quickly. ½ a cup is 100 times ¼ of a teaspoon, and given my scent problems I’m probably highly sensitive. Now I can try again. - failsafer, NZ
