Food/Sensitivity Testing

[AmandaR]

Hi, our son has had Tourette’s for several years. We have tried magnesium but it’s no longer working as well as it used to.

I’ve seen many posts about aspartame/gluten/etc causing tics. Aside from elimination diets, are there any tests we can request from our doctor to test for sensitivities? If so, what sort of test and who would perform it (MD, naturopath, etc).

Hi

we have done an Organic Acid and IGG test from Great Plains. We also did a CYREX Array 3x test. the IGG and Array 3x look at food sensitivities and the Organic acid test looks at a wider selection of elements.

these have been useful, but getting someone to interpret the results and get stuck into making changes has been hard.

I wish you all the best
