: My son of 2 yrs suffers severely from RLS! Would you be willing to tell me what the diet is that helped you or show me where exactly to find this info! I am willing to try absolutely anything to help him! Thanks! Jami
: Hello all!

: I can really sympathise with so many here, having had restless legs for years and not being able to get to sleep. Excruciating! Took years to even find a name for it.

: There's a unit in the Royal Prince Afred Hospital in Sydney that has had remarkable success with a diet that's low in additives, salicylates, amines and flavour enhancers. It sure worked for me - I've had no troubles for nearly 10 years now.

: Take a look at http://www.ozemail.com.au/~sdengate for excellent information about the effects of food on behaviour, health and learning in both children and adults, plus support for families using the low chemical elimination diet recommended by the Royal Prince Alfred Hospital in Sydney Australia.

: Best of luck
