Note: I posted an updated shopping list as of March, 2012. This is a separate list from the one below. I'm leaving this list below b/c there are some items that we no longer eat now b/c of allergies (to dairy) that I did not list in the newer shopping list. But, there are some newer products that are listed in the 2012 list.
The Feingold Diet consists of two stages. Stage 1 is where you remove a lot of the fruits like berries, apples, grapes, etc. You do stage 1 for at least 6 weeks, then you can add them back in one at a time to watch for a reaction. The fruits and foods that do not contain preservatives, and dyes, etc. are known as stage 2. I do not list out if an item listed below is stage 1 or 2, but on my other blog, www.feingoldrecipes.blogspot.com and on my Facebook page - All Natural Mom, I do list out Feingold stage 1 or 2.
Below is a copy of my personal shopping list when we were doing just Feingold. There are a lot more foods than this that are approved on Feingold, but this is just what we buy to give you an idea of the foods that are approved. I haven't updated this in about a year or two, so if you are a new member of Feingold, you will want to double check this with your current shopping guide. Some products like Back to Nature do not fill out forms so we don't know for sure that they are clean, but we use them without a problem. We've also been on the diet for over several years, so if you are new, you will want to stick to the guide. Anyways, if you don't have a child with ADHD symptoms, and you just want to make wiser healthier decisions for your kids, this list may help.
Disclaimer (So Feingold can stop leaving the same comments over and over all over my blog): This is not the same as doing the Feingold Diet. If you want to do the Feingold Diet, please purchase their program.
