First doc visit, and DMG 125 ?

[Cj60]

After our visit to the ped. neur. a couple of weeks ago (a real downer, let me say), we were able to get in quickly, thanks to a cancellation, at an environmental medical practice a couple of hours away.

 

Man, what a world of difference! The pn diagnosed, handed us two prescriptions to choose from, baited my son concerning his desire to use meds to take care of his tics, and scoffed at my question as to whether there were alternative approaches. Yesterday, we had a 1.5 hr. visit, received the approval of the doc concerning the supplements and things we were already using and doing (mag, multi vit, flax seed oil, eliminate HFCS and limit sugary snacks, almost eliminated dairy), had a urine test ordered (why didn't the pn do this??), had an elimination / challenge diet recommended (we're really struggling with this, as I can't see how we're going to be able to do it in the near future, as ds starts school already this coming Monday), recommended the skin allergy tests which we're about to schedule (and again, why didn't the pn recommend this??) and had two new supplements recommended.

 

One of the sups is a probiotic, which I was very close to implementing on my own, so now I don't have to wrestle with that any more. I'll probably start it today.

 

The other is dimethylglycine (DMG 125), which I had not seen referenced here yet. I'll probably start to phase it in in a few days, pending feedback here.

 

Any insight / feedback on the dimethylglycine supplement?

 

As always, thanks for being here!
