They gave a survey to parents and then ordered the results from most commonly reported triggers. They used to post the results on their site, but now they refer you to the book for it. Many of the most common food additives and chemicals/fumes are problematic for my son. Avoiding them religiously has become our way of life and no one would know he has Tourettes (unless he encounters one of those triggers). Some things trigger stronger reactions than others. But being consistently vigilant has, as I say it, "Changed my son from having special needs to having a special diet."
He had a bout of copralalia with a really stressful teacher, but we taught him to rhyme the words to reduce the urges. This worked and that tic has since waned away since we switched teachers.
The trigger elimination has been so effective and is so quickly recognizable, that i wonder if it is truly at the heart of Tourettes. Maybe he is genetically sensitive to these chemicals, and when exposed the tics manifest.
