Sounds legit.
There is actual evidence of some dyes causing behavioral issues in some children.

It happened to my son. When he was 2, he would barely talk and had behavioral issues. We stopped red and yellow dye, and within two weeks he was much calmer and saying full sentences. No lie. Most people don’t believe us, but it most definitely happened.
Out of curiosity what foods had the dyes in them that you had to cut? I imagine it's in some things you'd never think of
A lot of it was obvious, like dessert foods. But some were sneakier. I couldn’t tell you for sure because that was 16 years ago. It was a whole diet called the Feingold diet, and it was pretty restrictive.
