I need to try and find out what triggers this as it is stressful for us but also him.

think its more likely hyperactivity of e numbers

Non allergic food reactions (i.e. not having symptoms like asthma, coughs, etc, etc) can cause the symptoms you describe as it is thought to interfere with parts of the brain, hence causing fluctuations in the brain. This difficulty is that no one has actually proven this scientifically as yet
I would take him along to your GP who should arrange for him to see a specialist so he can be tested for different foods/drinks that may cause this.
Good luck
toffee said:one of my sons seem to have extremes of behaviour at times, almost like he is drunk. Giddy, silly etc. There is a marked change when he gets like this.
It happened when we last went out for a meal. He had mussels in garlic then bacon chop, potatoes, broccoli and courgettes and a cheese sauce.
surely that could not have affected him?
My nephews drink J2o (or something similar which I gather is an orange flavoured non alcoholic drink).
Our kids had about four of these.
He suddenly went really giddy, silly and generally badly behaved. Not awful but wouldnt listen and appeared to be tipsy. (there is no way he had drank anyones alcoholic drink.
Has anyone had any similar experiences? can you point out any common foods that may cause this?
It has happened before but we havent kept a list of what he has eaten.

I am very pleased for you that your children are so well balanced and doing well. I made myself sound like a bad father but in fact my children were on the whole well behaved and the need to punish did not occur too often. My princess ( Joanne ) never required punishment from me. Princesses never do as you probably know. I wish the very best for your childrens' future.Brightness said:Flaming Henry, Williams89, you sound just like my mother was . Neither of my kids have been smacked (save when one of them almost killed himself with a winnie the pooh and a bedside lamp, but that's another story).
They have however, been taught respect for others amongst other things & I can honestly say that they are both very good lads. This isn't just my view either, it's what I am told by everyone who knows them.
In fact, one of the deputy heads at my youngest's school told me that he wishes that all the kids were more like my son He obviously hasn't seen his bedroom hahaha
toffee said:thanks all.
I dont think it is diabetes, as he doesnt wee more than the others , nor drink more.
