[blparent] an update

[Tay Laurie]

If it's a fact-finding mission, and seems to be for food allergies, test 
everything, even without the doctor. write down names of food, dates, times, 
what ingredients wee in it if you can, was it homemead or packaged, etc. 
make note of any trends nd mention, for example,
Hey doc, my kid seems to get horrivly extra hiper when he has tbhq, red dye 
no. 40 and aspartame.

Personally, I'd cut any all artificially sweeteners out. they do serious 
brain damage. I was given the stuff as far back as I can remember and now, 
yuck. daily seizures, anyone.
