Re: thiamine and mag for tourettes/tics/ocd

[Guest guest]

THANK YOU for posting this message from another board. Very

thoughtful of you. Our son has been struggling with tics for the past

year and a half. Taking our son off casein a year ago brought a

resolution (or so we thought) but then they returned. He's been on

enzymes for the past three months along with many other supplements

(including epsom salt baths but on a very infrequent basis). We

aren't sure whether any of this is helping....since he continues to

have tics but at least not as frequently as originally. We'll look

into Thiamine. Do you have any idea what thiamine is or do you have

any experience with it?

thiamine is vitamin b1 or the water soluble form of ttfd.

I tried the thiamine and magnesium, but started out slowly...200 mgs of each

to see how it would affect . She started this really bizarre head and

neck stretching and facial tics after only on them for 3 days. I stopped it.

I used regular thiamine as my health food store clerk never heard of

allithiamine. Would the B vitamin be causing this strange behavior?

acts like her head is really hurting her.

200 mg of thiamine is 200 times the rda.

also b vitamins are a ratio thing. its hard to find good ratio b

composites.

i take b6 and find that about 3 mg does. b vitmains should be looked

against a background of cofactors.

Vitamin B toxicity usually first manifests as tingling and/or numbness

in the hands and feet and other extremities. For some people, it

feels like the body is on fire. I would suggest you start with USRDA

of this vitamin, then work up to a level that she still tolerates and

where you see benefits.

Dear Dana,

Thank you for clarifying this for me. The initial posting stated that

400mg of Thiamine and 400 mg of magnesium helped to eliminate the Tics

associated with Tourettes and OCD's. I was afraid to try that high amount as

my daughter is so sensitive to everything, so I halved the amounts. At this

point I stopped it in hopes the head, neck and facial cranning will go away.

Yesterday, she only had 2 episodes of it in the evening.

Well that is good news! Hopefully she will stop that in another day

or so, then wait a few days, then start back at an even lower dose [if

you want].

For one of my kids, tics means he has a yeast issue, so you can

consider that also, if you want
