Losing teeth

[mom2a]

Hi all....This is my first post but I have to say this sight has been helping me for 2 years. My son first started showing signs of TS at age 5 (his dad also has TS) I immediately took action with the help of latitudes and Doris Rapp. I was so amazed at the results I saw I have made it my mission to help other families in my area simply by helping them make the changes that we have made. I also direct them to latitudes for additional support and advice in the areas I'm not very knowledgable in like supplements and a place just to vent and get support.

 

The reason for my post is that we have been going along very well for the last 2 years, no real big bumps with the exception of some food mistakes. Recently however my son has definitely been going through a growth spurt and losing teeth left and right along with that.... his tics have increased. I have never seen him react during a growth spurt before, nothing in the diet has changed or his environment. We homeschool so I have a pretty good guage as to what is going in his tummy every day.

 

I guess my 1st question would be, is there a supplement to support the adrenals during times of growth and stress on the body? Right now my son is taking calcium/magnesium, Omega 3*6*9, B-complex. I do realize there are times you just have to ride the wave and let the body do what it needs to do but if there is something I can do I want to be doing it.

 

My 2nd question is this.....the things I have tried on my son I have had GREAT success with but with my husband it hasn't worked at all. My guess has been that he is more effected by life stresses of fatherhood and husbandhood and his TS is more triggered by emotions and his OCD which I can't control that (unfortunately), so I just try to support him the best I can. Has anyone had the same experience with more than 1 person in the family having TS and it being so completely different and you have to take 2 completely different routes? Any suggestions on how to help TS that seems to be more charged by the emotions and OCD?

 

I really am grateful that latitudes was there for me 2 years ago..(and still is)...without this sight I don't know if I would of seen that there was light at the end of a tunnel that seemed not very bright 2 years ago.....boy was I wrong! My son has given me direction, purpose and passion, who would of thought this little guy would be such a great teacher in my life!

 

Thanks for any suggestions!

Hi

 

just heading out so cant post much response but I did want to mention that one of my son's biggest tic triggers has always been teeth.........even long before we knew he had Tourette Syndrome, we could always tell when a tooth was coming out or in weeks in advance becasue of changes in his digestion, behavior, moods, tics, OCD.....the whole kaboodle!

 

we even had to find a pediatric dentist that was experienced with working with kids with TS as dental visits could set of weeks of waxing

 

gotta run

bye

Thank you Chemar, I knew it had to be connected because nothing else in his diet has changed at all. I'm pretty diligents in my efforts, I just wasn't sure if teeth could cause this much havoc in the system. I know you had to run maybe when you get a chance you can let me know if there are any supplements that could help with growth spurts. I know my son does "feel" the growing pains.....when they are happening.

 

Thanks a bunch!
