Hi,

 

What has worked pretty effectively for my son has been 1) a pretty clean diet: no dairy, no artificials or preservatives or unnecessary additives. Along the way we have also identified and eliminated foods that are offenders. 2) A potent, comprehensive multivitamin (Kirkman's Spectrum Complete II hypoallergenic unflavored).

 

If tics are diet (digestive track) related, time and patience are necessary.

 

We also supplement sulfate in the form of glucosamine sulfate for reasons that are probably particular to my son.

 

Magnesium was also a very important supplement for us. But the multi has lots of it so we stopped supplementing that.

 

Epsom salt baths, for both magnesium and sulfate, always proved beneficial, as well.

 

We found inositol to be a helpful supplement for his minor ocd, when it became noticeable to us. We found certain teas to help, too.

 

Good luck!

 

Chris
