  1. We want to have our son tested for food and environmental allergens to see if it helps with his tics. The nearest environmental physician is 3 1/2 hours away (which we are more than willing to drive). But, is there a reason to do the allergy testing with a dr like that rather than through a typical allergy clinic? Also, what have you found to work better - skin prick or blood work? I read a little bit about neutralizing the allergies vs the standard way they treat allergies. Can anyone shed any more light on that for me? Thank you in advance! This is all so new to us (5 months in) and Sheila's book gave us hope that we can help our son.
  2. Our 5 year old son started having several motor tics five months ago and now has an occasional vocal (throat clearing). After reading Sheila's book, we have decided to have his blood work done and have him allergy tested. In the meantime, I'm cutting out all dairy (just to start somewhere) and will reintroduce it to see if we see a difference. However, he seemed to have an increase in tics AND our normally sweet natured boy has had some serious emotional outbursts. (bit himself, pinched himself) He has punched himself in the stomach before because he was having some internal tics but this was different. He was mad. The instigator was a toy he was unhappy with but that is not normally what he would do. He'd say "I'm angry but I don't know why. What is wrong with me?" It just breaks my heart. Is it normal to see an increase in tics when first cutting out allergens/toxins?
