Non allergic food reactions (i.e. not having symptoms like asthma, coughs, etc, etc) can cause the symptoms you describe as it is thought to interfere with parts of the brain, hence causing fluctuations in behaviour. The difficulty is that no one has actually proven this scientifically as yet
I would take him along to your GP who should arrange for him to see a specialist so he can be tested for different foods/drinks that may cause this.
Good luck

think its more likely hyperactivity of e numbers
Not necessarily supersparky. My hubby is diabetic and whilst it would have this affect on him, I used to work with a girl who was diabetic and if she had anything too sugary she would act as though she was drunk. It was weird

Our GP took hair and nail clippings from our eldest and then sent them away to be tested - this was about 18 years ago. I can't believe technology hasn't advanced any further

Had similar problem with one of my sons. Each time this happened he received a very sharp smack around the ear. He very soon found being a good boy was less painful. he is now thirty years old and a gent.
Flaming Henry, Williams89, you sound just like my mother was . Neither of my kids have been smacked (save when one of them almost killed himself with a winnie the pooh and a bedside lamp, but that's another story).
They have however, been taught respect for others amongst other things & I can honestly say that they are both very good lads. This isn't just my view either, it's what I am told by everyone who knows them.
In fact, one of the deputy heads at my youngest's school told me that he wishes that all the kids were more like my son He obviously hasn't seen his bedroom hahaha

Ask for help ... You'll inevitably get a flame war, at the diy Notters party !
thanks all.
I dont think it is diabetes, as he doesnt wee more than the others , nor drink more.
He is the middle child but there are no new babies or any changes in lifestyle etc that would make him seek attention.
It isnt a daily issue and as I said, it isnt something that a smack would sort when it happens.
It isnt as simple as him just being naughty.
In fact he doesnt have to get naughty, he might just get very silly and cant sit still.
I have three young boys and they can all have their generally naughty moments.
The difference with this is that there is a distinct change in him and it is like seeing an adult get a bit drunk.
You know that the usual things you would say and do that would work to make them calm down or behave, will have no effect at all.
I will ask our GP about it, especially now that my mother has commented that she has noticed it happen too.
Thanks for the link empip.

I am very pleased for you that your children are so well balanced and doing well. I made myself sound like a bad father but in fact my children were on the whole well behaved and the need to punish did not occur too often. My princess ( Joanne ) never required punishment from me. Princesses never do as you probably know. I wish the very best for your childrens' future.Brightness said:Flaming Henry, Williams89, you sound just like my mother was

Send some sunshine to me then Toffee, both my furry Princes need a bath today and I won't do it until it brightens up a bit

Those symptoms may not be present. It sounds sooooo much like a blood sugar problem, and if so could be serious. The test is a doddle and can be done in seconds. I hope with this possibility I am completely wrong, but it's very important to get it checked. After that, it could be a high sugar peak after consuming whatever. I drank a LOT of orange juice once as I was driving the others home, so no alcohol, the next day I had EXACTLY the same symptoms as a hangover. (and I've only had two of those). If that's the case, just don't feed him sugary anything, as others said it could be the additives too.
