thanks for all your input. i will ask for a referral to a dietician. is pasta another food that can cause behavioral problems. tom does eat a lot of bread and pasta but i thought it was the healthier option than other food.. he is also overweight (6 stone) nearly 8 years but not particularly tall. i have to buy age 10-11 trousers and then i only get away with it if they are elastic waist.

:huh:has anyone heard of a connection between margarine and sleep problems?Tom is nearly 8 years old and for a long time now has been having 'fit' like symptoms about an hour after he EVENTUALLY goes to sleep. An EEG didn't show anything ( typically he didn't do it that night) usually it is every night at least once. I decided to try him on a low fat diet as he is overweight and amongst other things, have completely cut out marg on his butties. he doesn't have much milk and is on fat free fromage frais. we have realised that the fits have near enough stopped......strange!! especially when you are so used to dealing with them every night . he is still waking up a lot but not with the fit. has anyone heard of this before???
