A member asked:
Can mold or allergies be the cause of my niece getting symptoms of tourette syndrome?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, AND: Mold and food allergies have been implicated in a variety of health issues from autism spectrum disorder, depression, migraines and even cancer. Bottom line an inflamed GI tract can lead to an inflamed brain (and lungs). Try an elimination diet and see if your niece improves.
