I can relate to your initial thinking about not eliminating all the artificial ingredients and salycilates (tomatoes), but it really does work if you just pull the trigger and do it. My 5 y.o. daughter has been on the Feingold diet for seven weeks, and we've had 3-4 weeks with no tantrums, less sensory-seeking behavior, and we feel like we have our daughter back. I agree, it's not easy to go all out, but it's so worth it! Spending weekends with your child when they're cheerful and focused and not having tantrums is so wonderful I can't even describe it. OT and Listening Therapy had definitely contributed to my daughter's success, but the Feingold diet was the final piece of the puzzle that brought it all together.
