Hi Lori
usually food elimination only helps when their are actual food allergies/intolerances/sensitivities

you mention amino acids........are you giving specific ones or a general amino supp...if general do be careful as some amino acids stimulate dopamine and that in turn causes an increase in tics

Bonnie Grimaldi has a bit about that on her site www.bonniegr.com
