Look into the Feingold diet. Any info on that should have lots of info for you. From personal experience, my children react badly to dyes. Red makes them hyper and viollent, yellow makes them just hyper, and blue makes them moody, like they didn't get enough sleep.

Anything with red dye makes my 5 year old hyper and aggressive and yellow makes him hyper... his Dr laughed at me and said he has never heard of that.
He also has very sensitive skin and I can't use anything with dye or perfume in it or he breaks out in bad hives.

Funny how US drs have "never heard of this", but artificial food dyes are BANNED in Europe for exactly that same reason! And people wonder why I trust my own research into medical subjects than what some doctor says! Ha!
Quoting Momo77:

What kind of info are you looking for?
Red dyes make my.children hyper and one of them much more aggressive. It also makes one.of my kids sick to his stomach. We haven't figured out why yet.but even his Dr agrees we've ruled everything else put.

Well, I was hoping maybe someone had info about whether red dye is always listed as an ingredient or whether it can get 'hidden', a list of common foods that red dye is in, or alternative brands for common foods that don't have it. Maybe some sites that talk in depth about it, or personal experiences on eliminating it. I recently discovered my family has a severe intolerance to it and I'm just looking for as much info as possible. : )
