Dimethylglycine

[Cj60]

Hi everyone,

 

The other day I embedded a question in another post about the above mentioned supplement, and didn't hear anything. I thought I'd give one last call to see if anyone has used dimethylglycine for tics, and if so, what the results were.

 

I'm a little nervous about adding supplements. A doctor we visited this past week recommended a probiotic and the dmg. I tried the probiotic first, since I had read pretty much about them here and elsewhere. We used it twice, and on the third evening, before we gave him his third dose, we noticed heightened tics, and my son even mentioned a little discomfort with some ocd symptoms (I had really been hoping to escape the 'comorbid' phenomenon, but I guess not). It may have been simple coincidence; it was meet-the-teacher night, so that might have caused the waxing. I'm even now suspicious enough of clif bars to keep him away from that old reliable standby. But it was enough to make me back off of the probiotic.

 

Now I'm hoping for a little insight to the dimethylglycine before I try that.

 

Thanks!

Hi

 

I never use probiotic supplements...only natural probiotic foods like yoghurt (plain organic) and kefir

We have just never reacted as well to any other types of probiotics

 

I have no experience with the other supplement you mentioned so sorry, cannot comment on that one

Hi I read your other post but am not familiar with Dimethylglycine. Glad to hear this appt. went better than your prior! I wanted to add that you might remember my posting about acidophilus and an increase in my ds tics, after Chemar's advice I went back to yogurt and kefir and saw almost an immediate decrease. Plus it's cheaper!!!! We have since had other major increases but that's another issue. Good luck!

Thanks so much! I'll look into the cocconut or soy kefir, since our suspicion that dairy was an issue with our son was accurate, according to the allergy tests administered so far...

I did try Trimethylglycine, which is similar to Dimethylglycine. I have unusual OCD which behaves rather like Tourette's syndrome (so-called Tourettic OCD). I didn't take the TMG for long, just a week or two, but I rather think it made matters worse. (I discussed that in more detail in another post.) Oddly enough, I'd previously taken SAMe, which is supposed to be very like TMG, and I'm sure it helped - certainly things didn't get worse at all while I was taking it.

Best of luck,
