HI, He probably is senstive to foods because his ears are always red and flushed and hot...and also because he does have very bad bowels and also when he has grapes I see a bigger increase. not sure if it is my imagination. I am just hoping I can help him with diet and that will help.

Hi I gave a son who us 6.5 yrs old and he has had tics for 1.5 years. I gave seen docs at CHOP who mostly dismiss it and tell me it may go away. I feel upset that there is not much they can do. I have made an appt for getting allergy testing..hopeful we get some answers....but I keep thinking how can it be allergy when I see him tic more when he is watching TV or reading..or tryi g to see something...it's mostly eye thing...blinks. Flutters and head nods and turns. Does allergy compromise the immunity and then causes these things? Also how can it be allergy if he ate the same stuff for weeks when his tics were almost not present ..? Just confused. Or does allergy work in mysterious ways? Looking for hope here Thank you

Just confused....I also have a kid with tics and about to get allergy testing done...and I am actualy HOPING that I find some sesitivities so I can do something about it...but what makes me wonder is....the few months he had very few tics, he ws still eating all the food he eats now...so why wasn't he showing any reaction then? so sometimes I wonder about the allergy part...or could it just be environment AND food?
