  11. Can a food intolerance affect my child's behaviour?
    If you have tried other behavioural and parenting solutions but your child is still displaying behavioural difficulties, a food intolerance test could be worth investigating. But before you book a test, think about the following;
    Does he or she have tummy aches, headaches or eczema?
    Does he or she have dark shadows under their eyes?
    - These are the classic signs that they might be eating something which they are reacting to. Read more about food intolerance in children here.
