12 yr old boy with tics

The tics are unlikely being triggered from candida. I would still treat the Candida, but would also do strep antibodies – ASO titer and Anti-DNAse B.

Also, the 5-HTP and/or Inositol may help the tics. I cannot say I have seen universal success though. In this case I would definite use 5-HTP first. This is a priority. The inositol could be used, but only after on 5-HTP for a few weeks.

Other probiotics – ProBiotic Support Formula from New Beginnings Nutritionals is good probiotic that doesn’t have the S. Thermophilus.

I hope this helps,

Sounds good.

BTW – if you end up doing blood work on special needs individuals always check their Total Cholesterol levels. They are often low and can be helped with cholesterol supplementation.
