Used some tonight, for the 1st time, on soles of ds feet before bed. Chemar, how did your child use it?

Thanks!

Has anybody used magnesium lotion on their kids? If so, did you get good results?

Thanks for your update! So happy for you that you are seeing positive results.

jcmom my nutritionist gave us collagen powder to give our son in his smoothie. It is for gut healing given we just found out he is gluten intolerant. Are you still seeing good results with it? She also recommended bone broth. Thanks!

Thanks for the toothpaste recommendation Matt. Sheila - thank you for your response too. I am looking back through my online calendar to see what was going on in that November time period. So, we met with the Naturopath on Monday and she gave us the results of my son's food intolerance blood test. Results indicated that he is intolerant of all dairy, all eggs, citrus fruit, wheat and gluten! All the big ones. She helped us navigate the results. She also did a Rapid Strep test which came back negative, but she is also doing the longer one and will advise the results. If positive, there are some other tests she wants to run. She wants to see him again in 3 weeks to see how he's doing on the food elimination diet. The next day I met with a nutritionist and she helped me come up with a food plan for my son while removing all the intolerant foods listed on the blood test results. She also recommended multivitamins, probiotic, vitamin D and fish oil for him. In regards to the Multi and Probiotic she had to find ones there were dairy and gluten free. I left hopeful with many good food ideas that fall within his allowed foods. She says she would like to go at least 3 months on this diet before we introduce back any of the foods. The naturopath says 3 weeks. The nutritionist said let's review in 3 months and before that as needed. I tend to think 3 months is a good time as it will take awhile for results to be seen. So, we are hopeful that his tics will get better. At what point do people tell if diet changes are helpful? That is, when do most people see results? I read the pinned post and it looked to me anywhere from 1 week to 2 months? Given he has so many intolerances, I would think it could take a few months. What do you think?

Thank you!

Thank you so much Cinlou for sharing this! I’m so happy to hear that your daughter is doing well!!

Hi, I know there are success stories throughout these online postings. I just needed to see if there were any updates or new things to report? It’s been a tough weekend for my ds(9) and I just really need to hear some succesful stories. Thank you!

Chemar, What is the difference between biofeedback and neurofeedback acupuncture?

Hi! My naturopath recommended L-theanine for tics for my 9yo? Has anybody heard about this? Have you used it?

HI! How much Natural Calm do you give your child? We are giving 1/2 t. /2x day. My child is 58 lbs. Wondering if we should give more.

This is so helpful! For the strep test, blood would be a draw and the others a swab? Or how is that done? At the pediatrician's office or at a children's hospital? Thank you! I would ask your pediatrician to test both kids for strep (in the blood as well as the throat, nose, rectum). Strep hides in various places...sinuses/ears, etc. That has always been my gripe with pediatricians.........these kids test positive, they give them an antibiotic, but no-one ever tests them after the completion to see if it if fully resolved?! They don't even tell people to change out their childs toothbrush 48 hours after they start the antibiotic so they don't re-infect themselves. Anyway, Strep may not be the only cause, but I would start there and then get in to see an infectious disease doctor for further more in-depth testing for other causes.

Thanks so much for your response Sheila! So far this week, we have just implemented, NO Gluten, NO MSG, NO artificial colors, and NO/Low Salicylates. Supplementing Natural Calm unflavored 2x/day. He's a picky eater, so doing our best. We did Epsom Salt baths 2x, and the 1st time his cheeks were really red and the 2nd time, he had a little rash on his back, so we stopped them immediately. I'm thinking it's the sulpher. Could a sulpher issue be a sign of something else? We go back to the Naturopath in 1.5 weeks to see the results of the blood test for food sensitivities test. But I know there could still be intolerances/sensitivities that wouldn't show up. The next day I have an appointment with a nutritionist who came recommended to me. I think she will be most helpful. I just purchased your books, thank you! How do I find out if there is any underlying infection? What test would that be? Is that with a traditional pediatrician or a naturopath? What type of infection? Also...are there good toothpaste and shampoo recommendations out there? Also, do most kids just drink water or some milk type while doing a modified diet? Thank you Sheila. Just getting responses from people is so helpful and supportive. I really appreciate it! Marie

Chemar, How is your son doing as an adult. Does the protocol that worked when he was younger still work now? Did he stop anything or continue most? Thank you!

Hi! im New here. My 9 yo son was diagnosed with minor tics a few weeks ago. It started in November. Head twitch and throat clearing. This week face grimace added. Neurologist said he would probably grow out of it. Went to ND and did a food sensitivities test. We are waiting on results. Have started GF diet for now but hoping for more info when get food sensitivities test back. Did Epsom salt bath this week but 2nd day he had a bit of a rash on his back so stopped that. Will try Nature Calm this weekend. I started charting food this week. I’m feeling overwhelmed and saddened that in the last week it’s not getting better with the GF changes. Do most people eventually find something that works to help with the tics? When the changes occur, do they stay? I just need some hope. Thanks in advance.
