[Puberty]

And then do people see that it settles more after puberty is over?

[How is your son doing now?]

Thank you Chemar. So happy for him that things are going so well! It’s also nice to see that things progressively got better as he got older. What a hopeful post. Thank you!

[How is your son doing now?]

Hi Chemar,

I was wondering how your son is doing now with TS as an adult? How does he manage it? And if it got better as he got older, what was the age your saw things change?  Thanks!

What great news Nate! Glad your child is doing well. Thank you for the information on what is working for you.
 

Do you think it could be salicylates?

Oh right, I agree.

CBIT can help with vocal tics. You can find an OT that teaches a competing response.

Does puberty help tics lessen?

[PANDAS? Hoping for answers]

Hi ThreeAngels,

You could always make an appointment with a PANS/PANDAS literate Naturopath and discuss with them. They may be able to help navigate things for you.

[Gluten Free - how long to see any changes]

I think it takes many weeks to get gluten and dairy out of your system. I can’t remember exact length, but I do think it’s longer than 2 weeks.  Hope you see some tic reduction soon.

Chemar do you have a good recommendation for a non fish oil omega 3 supplement that won’t cause histamine issues?

[SPM Active...]

Tropea22,

I’ve heard this a more readily available form of omega-3, although it is fish oil to Chemar’s point. Are you liking it as a supplement and are you seeing any results?

Have you tried removing dairy as well? We removed dairy and gluten and found it helped reduce tics. We also removed eggs as our child had sensitivities.  And sugar is a big trigger. 
 

Also, we went to an alternative doctor and had a stool test done (GI Map is a good one) as well as food intolerances blood (finger prick) done.  It helped identify problem foods we should remove and the stoool test showed some gut issues we needed to address. Some people like the OATS urine test as well. 

Testing along with working with an alternative doctor has helped us as we heal our child. Need to get inflammation down, heal any infections the tests indicate, remove foods if there are any issues, use natural household products (no scents) and work on healing gut with your doctor’s help and recommended protocol. Environmental allergies can also play a role as can mold. The doctor will help guide you. Wishing your child continued healing.

Thank you so much Sheila. I really really appreciate your response!! I am focusing on a super clean diet too and hoping it clears. 
 

He sometimes takes Claritin for outdoor allergies so will add to his morning routine for the antihistamine properties. 
 

Thank you!!!
