I ate food colouring

Former Member

hi, when i was a little child I once ate the food colouring in an easter egg kit :crazyeyes :yuck:

I thought they were m&m's and I was like "mmm m&m's" :no:

There were about 5 or 6 food colouring m&m size tablets that I ate :no:

anyway, I can't remember that well but I think I had an extreme stomach ache a day or two after.

I was maybe around age 5 or 6?

I looked on the internet and I read that food colouring could make vision worse :nervous:

Well I'm 17 now and I have terrible vision so yeah :impissed:

I know I already researched but I just want some input on what other people out there think about this situation. :wave:

Do u people think that eating food colouring could have affected me in any way to this day?

Dr Pirate

less smileys :banghead:

and more structured sentances :impissed:

i think its probably too far in the past to be able to connect the two.
I didnt eat blocks of food colouring as a child and im blind as a bat for what its worth.

If you spray it in your eyes it might make stuff look a bit weird...

I am sure you would have to eat a LOT more than that for it to have any long term effect ...

far more dangerous are the flavourings.
i've heard of alcoholics swinging the brandy flavouring from the kitchen and ending up hospitalised.

I'm extremely myopic.. I didn't eat food colourings as a child. Go figure.
