They have a website with a wonderful message, support board of which I am a 
member.  www.feingold.org  I have already forwarded the new blog site to 
this group and hopefully there will be a link added to feingold.  I agree 
that it helps the elimination process.  The members on this site are very 
supportive and helpful when starting to change your way of shopping, cooking 
and eating.

Subject: Re: Breastfeeding and food allergies

We adopted a child with many issues and it took years to find a way to help 
him. Eventually we found Dr. Benjamin Feingold (now deceased) and his work 
with hyperactive children in his allergy practice. His book lays out an 
elimination diet that was very helpful to us and our son. I believe the book 
was titled: 'Why Your Child is Hyperactive.' I think there are still parent 
groups around the US who help families dealing with hyperactive children 
whose basic problem is allergies that cause their own bodies to secrete 
chemicals in response to allergens that also make the child hyper. I sent 
this info along in response to Jacqui's search for a simple diet plan. Dr. 
Feingold's plan tells you how to do it and how to evaluate foods one at a 
time as you add them back into your diet.

It seems like a lot of work at first, But my experience was that I ended up 
stocking my pantry with basic foods I could rely on and creating meals 
around those basics. It turned out to be less expensive than feeding my 
family processed foods, too. It changed our son's life and helped my entire 
family eat a more healthy diet.
