What should I do next?

[ameecram]

So my son has had tics for about 2 years now on and off, both motor and vocal, but nothing major I would say. He has many environmental allergies, but we have never tested him for food allergies. I don't believe we have any family history of TS, but I can't be positive. I have been doing epsom salt baths every night, and have ordered Kids Calm, multivitamin, and some flaxseed oil. I have no idea what else to get because my son is 4 yrs and 42 lbs and I don't know what is safe to give him. I haven't gone over any of this with a doctor so far. Should I be giving him L-carnitine and taurine as well? Do I need to see a doctor with all of these supplements? Any suggestions on possible food allergies. His tics now and have been a in the past is throat clearing and in the past few days some lip movements, not sure what it is called. I ordered Sheila Rogers book and will read that when I get it. I need some direction, there are so many avenues to explore that I am so overwhelmed trying to figure out what my next step should be and what I should be doing first. Should I do food sensitivity testing, IgG? Thanks!

If he doesn't go for the Kid's Calm (my daughter wouldn't), then try the Tropical Oasis liquid. I have a link under my (24hour review) thread.

 

Those sound similar to my daughter's. Her started at 3 years old.. which seems early to me, but I don't know.

 

I only have my daughter on magnesium and now this Tic Tamer (also under my thread).
