hi. I have a 10 yr old son with tics and possibly tourettes. I am trying really hard to change his diet so that I can find what is causing his tics to get worse. I have tried taking dairy away and I am not sure that it is helping. I have been shopping at trader joe's grocery for organic foods and also trying really hard to go without artificial colorings and flavors. Even after doing this, He seems to be getting almost worse. He is also taking a dietery supplement from Bontech. I am now wondering if sugar may be the problem. I am very frustrated because I don't seem to know where to start on going sugar free. They say not to use artificial sweeteners. What do I do? Even the organic and dairy free foods still have all the sugars in them. I need help on how to try and be successful with a sugar free diet. If anyone has any suggestions or help tips for me I would be so grateful.
