Feingold Diet and Naloxone

We checked these two against our interaction database. Here is what we found.

No Known Interaction Found

We did not find a documented interaction between Naloxone and Feingold Diet in our sources. This does not guarantee that the combination is completely free of risk — research on Feingold Diet alongside specific medications may be limited.

Worth understanding: our licensed dataset holds no drug-interaction record for Feingold Diet at all — not against Naloxone, and not against any other medication we track. This verdict therefore rests on the absence of any recorded data, not on research that looked at this combination and found nothing. We cannot rule an interaction out.

Feingold Diet is an eating pattern rather than something you take. Ask your pharmacist or doctor before changing how you eat while on a prescribed medicine: some medicines are dosed around meals, and a change in diet can change how they work. Do not stop a prescribed medicine on your own.

Always talk with your pharmacist or doctor before making changes to your medications or supplements, particularly if you take several medications or have an ongoing health condition.

Feingold Diet safety at a glance

Feingold Diet overall Use caution Generally low risk, but restrictive diets in children can lead to nutrition gaps if not supervised.
Pregnancy Use caution The diet is aimed at children; pregnant people should not follow restrictive diets without medical guidance.

What Naloxone’s Own FDA Label Lists

This is not an interaction — none of it involves Feingold Diet. These are the most notable effects listed in the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of Naloxone’s own FDA label, for the medication by itself. Knowing the drug’s own list makes it easier to work out the likely cause if something new turns up while you follow Feingold Diet and take the medicine. 7 of them are worth acting on rather than waiting out — marked below.

  • Dependence or withdrawal symptoms Worth acting on
  • Hallucinations Worth acting on
  • An irregular heartbeat Worth acting on
  • Seizures Worth acting on
  • Low mood Worth acting on
  • Raised blood pressure Worth acting on
  • Shortness of breath Worth acting on
  • Mood changes or irritability
  • Chills
  • Tremor or shakiness

From the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of the FDA label for Naloxone. Read the label on DailyMed › Feingold Diet’s licensed record lists no adverse effects our clinical vocabulary could match, so there is no Feingold Diet side to compare — that is a limit of the record, not a statement that Feingold Diet has no side effects.

Everything else you take

See Every Supplement That Interacts With Naloxone

This page covers Feingold Diet only. If you take other supplements — a multivitamin, a sleep aid, something for joints — the Naloxone page lists 3 supplements it has a documented interaction with, worst first, each one explained.

The most serious there right now: 1,4-butanediol (moderate), Gamma Butyrolactone (gbl) (moderate) and Gamma-hydroxybutyrate (ghb) (moderate).

By severity: 3 moderate.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Naloxone page

“The list of supplements that interact with naloxone, the emergency spray or injection (Narcan, Zimhi, Rivive) that reverses opioid overdoses, is short and unusual. All three entries are forms of the same substance: gamma-hydroxybutyrate (GHB) and two chemicals the body converts into it, GBL and 1,4-butanediol.”

About Feingold Diet

What is Feingold Diet?

  • Hyperactivity (ADHD) in children
  • Behavioral problems in kids
  • Attention and focus concerns
  • Childhood sleep and mood issues

The Feingold Diet is an elimination eating plan that removes certain artificial food colors, flavors, sweeteners, preservatives, and some natural salicylate-containing foods, mainly to reduce hyperactivity in children. Scientific evidence is mixed and limited, though a small number of children may be sensitive to specific food additives. If you try it, work with a pediatrician or registered dietitian so your child still gets balanced nutrition.

Elimination diet / structured eating plan

An interaction check asks whether these two react with each other — it does not ask whether Feingold Diet is a good idea for someone in your situation. Here is what our Feingold Diet record says about it on its own.

Feingold Diet: dosing

There is no pill or standardized "dose" for the Feingold Diet — it is a pattern of eating. It is typically done in phases: a stricter starting period that removes targeted additives and salicylate-rich foods, followed by gradual reintroduction to identify specific triggers.Because the diet can be complex and restrictive, it is best to follow program guidance and work with a registered dietitian or pediatrician to make sure your child's overall diet stays balanced.

About Naloxone Injection

What Is Naloxone Injection Used For?

Brand names: Narcan, Zimhi, Rivive

Naloxone hydrochloride injection is an opioid antagonist (a medicine that blocks opioids). One naloxone hydrochloride injection product is indicated for use by military personnel and chemical incident responders. It is for emergency treatment of patients 12 years and older when high-potency opioids such as fentanyl analogues are suspected to have been used as a chemical weapon.

That same product is also used as temporary prophylaxis (short-term prevention) of respiratory and/or central nervous system depression. This applies to military personnel and chemical incident responders entering an area contaminated with high-potency opioids.

Zimhi is a naloxone injection used for known or suspected opioid overdose with slowed breathing or central nervous system depression (extreme drowsiness or unresponsiveness). Its safety and effectiveness have been established in patients of all ages.

Most-Reported Side Effects for Naloxone

From FAERS, the FDA’s public side-effect reporting system (36,309 reports, all brands). Reports are voluntary and are not proof the drug caused the effect.

Drug dependence 4,721 reports
Drug withdrawal syndrome 3,762 reports
