Hi Taffi

yes, my son does also have Sensory Integration Dysfunction dx and this was greatly helped by a year of specialised Occupational Therapy made an enormous difference!

I would caution you to look into the side effects of those meds to be sure that they arent aggravating the various conditions

For example, steroids are known to increase TS tics....one of the reasons we did not go for the asocol or prednisone the doc wanted for our son (I have a thread on the TS forum re and article on the chemistry of TS that documents this)

I mentioned in another thread here how much value we got from The Maker's Diet by Jordan Rubin

He was dying from severe Crohn's and his own health turnaround is what inspired the book

we dont follow it to the letter, but apply the principles and use many of the recipes etc
It has been a lot easier to make the dietary modification than I would have thought and my son has become really good with knowing what foods are good for him or not. He doesnt have any food allergies per se, but he has noticed that he goes thru sensitivity phases when certain things are best avoided for a while
The one thing that is totally eliminated from his diet is ALL artificial food additives (coloring, artificial sweeteners including nutrasweet/aspartame and splenda/sucralose, MSG, high fructose corn syrup etc)
