[quote=Anonymous]We have dealt with transient tics for several years (10 year old child). I did a lot of research online and this is what has worked for us.

No high fructose corn syrup
No artificial flavors
No artificial dyes

Any slip ups with this, no matter how small, and facial tics will start (usually blinking harder/faster)and it takes about 3 days to clear out of the system. Check every label carefully!

Child takes the following daily (also approved by the pediatrician):
-Four Smarty Pants multi-vitamins (number based on age)
-One B-6, B-12, Folic Acid tablet (KAL brand)
-Two Natural Vitality Calm magnesium citrate gummies (orange flavored)-can take up to four if tics are noticed, but regularly just do two
-Two gummies with L-Theanine (right now takes two Olly Chillax or two Nature’s Way Cool, Calm, Collected gummies or one of each)

For us, the KAL B6, B12 vitamin seems to be the most important not to skip. Kid loves the taste of them, so enjoys taking all these without complaint. 99-100% tic-free with this vitamin regimen and obviously not ingesting high fructose corn syrup or artificial flavors or dyes. I sometimes limit excess sugar if I notice an issue as well, so something else to try that seems to be a possible trigger for some kids. Hope this helps your child!
