I'm new to this board, but have been on the latitudes board. We recently found out through a homeopath that our son was allergic to sugar. Being that sugar is in just about everything in one form or another, we started a little hunt for options. We have found that he does fine with organic cane juice, evaporated or liquid. He's also ok with honey and maple syrup. We have discovered that it seems to be mainly refined sugars that make him worse. Now, we haven't seen much difference in the tics, but it has helped his behavior and concentration.

We're still on the hunt for the trigger on the tics. Believe it or not, I'm leaning towards sodium. This is partly due to the fact that I'm sulfite intolerant.

Corn products such as starch, syrup, fructose, etc. all seem to bother him too.
