If I knew the answer to this one, I would use it myself LOL. Sorry.

My son ate inedible objects while he was going thru his gluten

withdrawals. It lasted 3 months for him. Perhaps the Peptizyde is

catching some proteins your son was still not digesting properly,

causing him to eat these things looking for his " fix " . At least

that is why my son did it. It was NOT an easy period of my life,

trust me I can relate to what you say here.

Can't offer many suggestions on this question, except that you appear

to be starting everything one at a time, and waiting a week to see if

it helps/hurts/does nothing, and that sounds like a good plan to me.

Ok. started enzymes today. He is so

sensitive, we started him with 1/2 capsule Peptizyde at lunch, 1/2 capsule with

dinner. He's been gfcf/Feingold for 2 years with MANY

sneaks/infractions. (He's a mischievous little peptide himself...).

We started him with the Peptizyde because of his infractions...

Question 1: I know we are supposed to give him enzymes

at his " main meals, " but he is such a little GRAZER. Does it make a

difference if he has 3 main meals with enzymes, but then eats 3 or 4 snacks in

between each meal? What if it's a snack that he's not supposed to

have? (Yesterday he found a Mars bar somewhere! We gave him

activated charcoal for that one).

Question 2: Can anyone recommend a good refrigerator lock? It

may save my marriage (I'm not kidding - this is one thing that we seem to get

stuck on. I'm the loser who leaves it unlocked.)

Question 3: I know this is a WEIRD question, but can the enzymes help

with PICA? eats lots of paper, plastic...Lately he's been on a

kleenex/paper towel binge. Does anyone have any ideas about PICA?

Question 4: Our post-DAN! plan was: 1 wk of Vitamin C (800

mg/day per Dr. Walsh @ conference)

2-3

weeks Peptizyde

2-3

weeks Zyme Prime (starting each enzyme @ 1/2 cap 3x/day for

2- 3

days, then increasing to 1 capsule/meal for 1 week,

then

maybe increasing

to 2 for big meals. Wait until reactions subside)

1

week vitamin E

1 week vitamin A

Start

zinc gluconate

We figure we will wait until any major reactions subside before starting

anything new. Actually, we have even seen some good eye contact/initiating

interactions with the vitamin C (but it's hard to tell what's working...he had a

fever, too, and sometimes that makes his symptoms better)...By the time we

finish all this, we expect to either have heard from Dr. Walsh (Amber, you're so

lucky!) or make an appointment with a DAN! dr. to look at yeast...

ANY IDEAS WOULD BE SO APPRECIATED! Thanks...
