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?

Thank you for writing My son did fall sick (cold) before the tics but I did not see a doc till it would not go away....after that the doc gave him an antibiotic and his cold was cured....but after 2-3 weeks I saw the tics....which doctor did you see? I am in Philadelphia area and I am lost for what to do. so far it has been almost 7 months and he blinks with his roght eye mainly and 2 weeks ago started almost like a staring thing with head turn....sometimes he does all this less and sometimes more....where can I get a strep test and what else can I do? I am so lost

Hi Thank you for your message. I read the symptoms of PANDAS and except for the tic part he is not showing any other symptoms. How did he get diagnosed and what is the treatment?

HI, Thank you so much for your response. I am still trying to find out the trigger. He is a little shy and keeps things to himself so my homeo doc and I decided that he may be anxious and treating his personality a little which is actually helped. But I also see that for few days he is better and then for few his tics are more intense. I was trying to really rack my brains to see if there was a pattern and I did think that the past 2-3 times a flar up happened, I think he had had some sugary dessert and it's almost alwys leading to constipation....it makes me wonder if there is some yeast infection also involved. He had had a cold before this started and had been given anti-biotics and I saw this happen 2 weeks later....still wondering if I ma right. Any information here will help. Thank you!

Hi How are you? I am new here and I just started feeling that there is a relation between his tic and yeast infection. Should I contact his pediatrician for a test to see if there is yeast? Is rice ok to eat in a yeast infection ? I have heard fermented food is big no. Is that right? Hope to hear from you soon Ankita

Hello I am new here and I am sure I will find help here. I have a 5 year old son who started to blink and slightly nod his head 6 months ago. He has now started a small eye movement and slight head turn. I am seeing a good homeopath for him but hoping I can find more info to help him. I want to know how I can find a good environmental DOCTOR nd what is biofeedback? I also see someone mention Bonnie supplements. It is overwhelming for me to see all these options so I would Appreciate it if anyone can tell me where to start. I haven given him homeopathic mess for the last 1 month....sometimes it seems to work and other times I wonder. I also started him on fish oil 2 weeks ago. Any suggestions will help a lot. I know I can help my son if I can get answers here. Thank you Hope to hear from you soon Anks
