The Food Intolerance Network ACT (finACT) provides support for people undertaking the Royal Prince Alfred Hospital (Sydney) elimination and challenge diet as well and those who choose to eat FAILSAFE (Free of Additives and Low In Salicylates, Amines and Flavour Enhancers) foods for a variety of health reasons.

This is an email discussion group for failsafers residing in Canberra, Queanbeyan, Goulburn, Yass and surrounding regions. It is localised to these areas so that we can discuss things like where to buy suitable food, including failsafe sausages and preservative free bread. Local information such as dietitians who supervise the diet, and doctors who are sympathetic to our problems can also be discussed, as well as sharing our stories, and successes.

To get the most out of this group, and be familiar with the subjects discussed, you should read "Fed Up" and/or "The Failsafe Cookbook" both by Sue Dengate.
