COuld Anything in these cause my tics?

[AHB900]

Hey everyone, I haven't been taking few of my workout supplements because i fear they might cause my tics. I was looking at what is in them today and i didnt really find anything that i feel might cause my tics i was wondering if you all who are more experienced with these tic triggers can look over these ingredients and tell me if there is anything that may cause my tics. Thank You

What do you all think can i take these without fear? Or should i watch out for some things that are in them.

[Chemar]

Natural And Artificial Flavors, Carrageenan, , Sucralose

 

 

sucralose aka splenda sets off my sons tics and has other health problems associated with its use

 

artificial anything can be a BIG tic trigger

 

carrageenan is possibly linked to some bowel disorders

 

 

CytoCarb II™(CytoSport's Unique Combination Of Branching As Well As Long Linear Chain Maltodextrins With Very Low "DE" (Dextrose Equivalence) Providing A Complex Source Approximately 96.5% Sugar-Free), CytoCarb II™(Whey Protein Concentrate, Whey Protein Hydrolysate), Creatine Monohydrate,

 

i dont know about these nor the creatine but seem to think I read somewhere of maltodextrins not being ok???? and some amino acids can trigger tic increases. someone with more biochemical insight may be able tohelp more on those

 

the vitamins themselves look ok tho that magnesium oxide is not going to give you much magnesium absorbed. oxide is the worst form. you may need extra magnesium in another form to lower tics

There were four things that stood out to me in the last product. The first two are the whey protein concentrate and the whey protein hydrolsate. Anytime you see the words protein concentrate and protein hydrolsate it means the molecular structure of the protein has been changed. This typically means it is changed to a "free glutamate" which is the same molecular structure as MSG. What they do, from what I have read, is they take a food source and brew it over a period of time. During this process the molecules get changed to this free glutamate. These free glutamate molecules excite the nervous system

 

I can tell you my son a few weeks back had pizza at school and started getting tics. I went and read the box, because they had a new brand of pizza they were using, and I immediately saw the words "milk protein concentrate". I allowed him to have the pizza one more time to see if it was absolutely the pizza or perhaps it had been something else. Sure enough the tics were back again after eating the pizza the second time.

 

The other two things that stick out to me is the "artificial flavors" are absolutely a tic trigger. The last thing that is in it that we have to avoid for my son, and it is in sooooooooo many things, is caramel color. It again fires up the nervous system.

 

Hope this helps you some.
