Sue Dengate's bestseller Fed Up opened the eyes of thousands of desperate parents to the adverse effects of synthetic additives and natural chemicals in foods.

'Are you affected by food additives?'
What we eat has changed dramatically over the last 30 years, and so have our children. Behaviour and learning problems, asthma, depression, youth suicide and teenage violent crime are all increasing. Many parents find that raising children is not the joyful experience they were expecting, and I was one of them.
When my first baby was born, my life revolved around trying to get an unsettled baby to sleep. Then she grew into the terrible twos and never grew out. On good days she was charming, adorable and clever, but on her frequent bad days she was demanding, dissatisfied, grouchy, easily annoyed, argumentative, defiant, took hours to get to sleep and woke frequently. We had expected her to do well at school but she struggled with schoolwork.
For 11 years I did the rounds of doctors, baby-health nurses, psychologists, teachers, school counsellors, alternative practitioners, tutors, physiotherapists, dietitians and many more. I was told I was a bad mother; to use better behaviour management; to pour myself a stiff gin; to learn to live with it; that I needed medication; that she needed medication. After years of sleep deprivation, my marriage was at breaking point, and so was my sanity.
Of all the remedies we were offered, most helped a little. We tried various diets, for six years avoiding additives, sugar and dairy foods, but it wasn't until she did a 24-hour water-only fast in hospital at the age of 11 that I finally saw the daughter I'd always wanted. Under our eyes she became settled, calm, polite, interesting, intelligent and fun to be with. 'That's the child I want!' I said. Our paediatrician finally believed that her problems were food-related, and we started a three-week trial of a low salicylate diet.

The Food Intolerance Network consists of over 20,000 families, mostly in Australia and New Zealand but with members in USA, UK, EU, Canada and several other countries. A grateful member just summarised what we do as 'helping families and taking corporations to task'. We'd say that's exactly what we do.
This has been the most life changing thing we have ever done - Janette
