Hi ,

Well, my younger son, when he was 4 had a TIC, he cleared his throat a

million times a day, that lasted for a year, then he would sniff a millions

times a day, then it went to the most socially expectable one of all(he

would pinch, not play with the end of his penis, very quickly and be done

with it!) Many times a day! Well, of course they all thought many things,

doctors I mean, wanted to put him on Ritalin or other meds. I refused and

learned all about Sensory Integration Dysfunction, and when I read The Out

of Sync child, by Carol Kranowitz, I knew this was him. The anxiety

connected with this is huge and the developmental(social delays can be

huge), after therapy and education for all who are in his life, he no longer

has a TIC of any type. This was all before the diet. So I can't say that the

diet had anything to do with it. We did cut out SUGAR and had him eat every

few hours, not 3 meals a day. He is a new kid. Laurie

I have a ten year old with ADHDan d bipolar disorder. I tried the diet for

him but since he was much older than his brother when the diet was started,

he refused to stay on it, would eat what ever he wanted at school, so I cant

say if it would have worked or not, but we did try. LIsa F

We stopped our 2 1/2 yr old's facial tics by doing the diet. We are

on GFCF, soy free, phenols free, additives/preservatives free.It only

took a month to figure out the foods that were triggering the

blinking and twitching. He also has low blood sugar sometimes which

seems to trigger a bit of blinking, but otherwise, he's blink/twitch

free! I believe tourettes and stuttering can be helped by diet too.
