Dairy Allergy Example

[Atex]

Hi there, just thought I'd post an experience for anyone searching.  My daughter was on the usual path of motor/vocal tics for a few years starting at around age 5/6 till we really explored diet/environmental triggers and completely eliminated tics right around the age 10 mark, and she has been completely tic free for about 14 months.  That includes many times of high anxiety, sickness, pressure, etc that can come with being a 10 yr old.   In the past 6 months, we have tried challenge tests on a few foods.  Eggs went well, and boy that made life easier.

Dairy on the other hand was different.  We tried challenging her with Fairlife for 2 days (lactose free milk, but it's still cow milk), and sure enough, mild tics showed right up and lasted approximately 12 days, then back to nothing.   

I only mention this because if you imagine a child who's system is being offended by multiple things, for a longer period of time, you can see how difficult it can be to isolate what is or isn't the offender.
