Guest guest Posted April 4, 2003 Report Share Posted April 4, 2003 Does anyone have a list of foods that are high in phenols? Seems like I saw a list before but didn't save it. Thanks in advance in Arkansas [ ] Re: Proteins and carbos and what each can do for our children > My child has severe attention deficit and we'd welcome nutritional help. I can't answer your specific question, but many kids with ADD issues are helped by reducing or eliminating phenols, either by removing foods or using No-Fenol enzyme http://www.danasview.net/phenol.htm http://www.houstonni.com/ Dana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 27, 2004 Report Share Posted July 27, 2004 Phenol issues tend to bring on hyperactivity and allergy (and allergy shiners - dark circles under the eyes). Also many people who need the Feingold restriction don't do well on high amounts of B6. If you test at some point get plasma cysteine and sulfate from Great Smokies.

Here is my info page on phenols http://www.danasview.net/phenol.htm Most high phenol foods also feed yeast, and yeast symptoms can be similar to phenol symptoms. >>Are these like gluten & caesin?

For some kids, yes. >>I am beginning to wonder > if this might be a yeast-centered issue BUT he eats lots of fruit and > potatoes without the loose stools. For some kids, yeast causes constipation and not loose bms. For my own son, phenols did not affect the bms, just the behaviors. You can use epsom salt baths, or No-Fenol enzyme, if you don't want to remove the foods http://www.houstonni.com/ > I'm willing to try the Mb and digestive enzymes.

Try No-Fenol enzyme first, and then see if you might need to remove certain fruits/veggies even with that enzyme. Dana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
