Three years ago, we tried the Feingold Diet treatment and have had good success with it helping her attention span, anxiety, and general outbursts. However, my wife and I found it somewhat difficult to find many of the Feingold-accepted foods, so we created <a href="http://www.aspergerstore.com" rel="nofollow">The Asperger's Store</a> which lists all the Feingold-accepted foods which Amazon.com carries. Hopefully, this list will be of some help to others. Craig We have also noticed that certain food additives greatly affected our daughter who has Asperger Syndrome.

Even as a baby, he would get "colicky" if I ate them and then breastfed him. We used the Feingold Diet for awhile, and now it's more of a personalized diet that we've worked out for him. I would encourage all parents to keep a diet diary and track changes in your child based on foods - it's so easy to control and it can make such a difference.
