    ‎11/2 days dye free (apparently takes 3-4 to clear your system). Only some minor whining today and one actual tantrum each and no headache for k. That's after no nap too. Hoping it's not just a coincidence!

      • Molly J. Orman paige's tantrum was actually a little funny though... She had a fit because she didn't want to share any of the celery on their plate of snacks with kyra.

      • Janell Cairns Areyan Considering I get migraines from artificial food coloring, I would NOT consider it a coincidence at ALL!!! My mom says she knew SOMETHING was triggering a response from the time I was off purées, but it took her nearly 8 MORE years to figure out exactly what! I'm so happy to see kore and more people CHOSING to avoid "fake foods"!

      • Molly J. Orman I just wasn't expecting to see a change so soon since from what I'd read and heard from friends it seems like it takes 3 days to make a difference for most people.

      • Janell Cairns Areyan I'm sure to flush it out completely, it can take up to a week. But, knowing how even ONE drink of Gatoraid or Hi-C can be the moment of doom, hearing such a quick improvement is pretty awesome! And- I totally believe it can make a difference that quickly! Some other "hidden" problem foods- cheese, chips, crackers, and even SOME canned fruits (mostly if it has cherries). It's a total pain to avoid, which is SO frustrating since it adds no flavor or nutritional improvement!

      • Molly J. Orman We made a costco trip last night and came home with dye-safe pickels, granola bars, soda, , jam, animal crackers and licorice so we won't be feeling deprived. All the cheeses we eat seem to have annato for coloring if they have anything which doesn't seem to bother us and we don't eat canned fruit in the summer so that at least is easy to avoid. I've got some more things on my regular shopping list to check yet.

      • Janell Cairns Areyan Some how you voluntarily going dye free excites me! :p My husband refuses to give up his junk foods, so I'm constantly looking at labels and avoiding things in my own pantry. I want to come to your place for snack! :p

      • Molly J. Orman My DH is on board with checking labels for the girls and he'll keep anything he brings home that we can't have in the office by his desk at least. :)

      • Phil Orman RE: In the office by my desk --.. does that mean I get your chocolate covered peanuts you left here? ;)

      • Molly J. Orman well you can have some of them but since thats a three lb jar i think you'd befeeling pretty crummy if you ate all our peanuts... Lol

      • Phil Orman not a 3lb jar anymore!! hahah

      • Janell Cairns Areyan LOL- is it at least a 2.5 lb jar still?

      • Angi Nicholas As I was cleaning out our pantry the other day, I was surprised at the things that DIDN"T have coloring in it that I thought for sure would. We don't seem to be sensitive to it, but I know Chip's gatorade and the crysal light have so much in it, we dilute the crystal light anyway, but chip can't stand diluting his gatorade for work. :P

      • Molly J. Orman Gatorade used to make a clear version but I think they eliminated it when they introduced propel. The Crystal Light Pure is all natural with no artificial dyes, flavors or sweeteners and Wal-Mart at least has some generic flavors of it now.

      • Angi Nicholas The Costco kirkland brand canned peaches are good! I checked those a little while ago. :)

      • Phil Orman most of the Kirkland stuff is. :)

      • Molly J. Orman most canned fruit that doesn't have maraschino cherries in should be ok. The cherries tend to be died so fruit cocktail usually has dye.

      Woke up to a lovely thunderstorm just after 6 a.m. Didn't get out of bed to watch the lightning so I don't know how far away it was but it was close enough for a few good booms at least. :) I love when the thunder just rumbles and tumbles on and on and when the clouds just seem to rip open and pour. Bonus, all 3 girls slept through it so we got to enjoy it in peace!
