New and Need Help

[Guest guest]

Hi Shirley

I definitely don't see anything wrong with trying the Buddy Bear

product. But I don't think it will be potent enough (based on his all

his symptoms). It actually is a very weak product. I just compared the

active units from their website to all of Enzymedica's digestive

products. They are very low in comparison. You actually get more for

your money with Enzymedica's products. But since you do already have

them, I would give it a try. You can always increase the number of

gummies.

Shirley - You could also try the Houston chewables. I guess they give

samples for you to try, so I've read. My very picky difficult son takes

them just fine. They kind of taste like a sweat tart.

I have a hard enough time getting a probiotic in juice down him too, I do

Custom Probiotics. He's terrible! We are still working on swallowing

pills. Does little ones, finally!

Re: new and need help

Dana and Allesandra,

Thank you for all that information.

I am going to hold on to it and look into it.

I have had huge problems trying to get my son to take the powders

enzymes. I tried to put it into everything imaginable and thought

for sure the chocolate wafers would work. It became a huge battle

and he is normally excellent about taking supplements.

So I bought Buddy bear digest by renew life. If anyone has any

experience with it please let me know.

Perhaps it isn't potent enough?

Does it count that he is on a gluten free diet? I was going to start

to give him a little gluten like toast or pasta once a week or so.

Would that make a less potent formula work better? Also he hardly

drinks any milk or cheese. I haven't made a connection to him having

difficulty with that.

The buddy bear also comes in a probiotic. I am supposed to do that

as well right?

Thanks everyone for your help. I'm so confused I feel like I'm

learning a new language.

This can be from food intolerance, yeast overgrowth, or liver stress.

Try adding carnitine for the " small in height and weight " issue.

It can for many kids, altho enzymes did not help my son with corn,

only ALA chelation did that.

Apples and oranges are high phenol/salicylate [Feingold]. You can try

giving them with No-Fenol enzyme, see if that helps.

Try HNI TriEnza.

I don't think that enzyme would be strong enough to handle gluten for

a child who has obvious gluten intolerance issues. You can certainly

try it tho, see if it helps.

I think I need someone to drive me to the store and put something in

my hand (lol).

I don't think the enzymmedica (dont know if I got that right) is

going to be a fit for my son because he needs a chewable. He doesn't

usually battle me, but he is very strong willed about the enzymes.

He likes the buddy bear. So would the Houston Neutraceudicals be a

better option. I'm trying to give him the least amount of pills

possible. His big issue is gluten, but I think corn is another one,

and too many apples. He also tested borderline allergic to sugar if

that means anything.

What should I do about a probiotic. I need that right?

I'm sorry to be desperately asking questions. I'm just beyond

clueless. I keep reading the information in the files and I still

don't get it.

I appreciate your help so much Dana and everyone.

Thanks,

Shirley

Houston makes a chewable form of their enzymes. If gluten and apples

are a big issue at your house, then Peptizyde and No-Fenol chewables

would help. Also, I believe Kirkman makes a chewable probiotic. I

believe the sugar content in all these products is low.

Hi Shirley

Houston Neutraceudicals does have higher active units (how strong or

potent it is) of protease than the Buddy Bear does BUT the problem is

that, that is ALL the houston one has. It also has fructose in it. I'm

not sure how you feel about that. The buddy bear at least has other

enzymes. Lipase (for fats) amylase (for carbohydrates)cellulase (it

helps free nutrients in both fruits and vegetables)Alpha-Galactosidase

(breaks down carbohydrates and is especially helpful with beans and raw

veggies) and Invertase (breaks down carbs, especially sucrose). But it

does have LOW active units. So maybe a few gummies would be better.

Okay so it looks like my choices are to take

houston neutraceudicals peptizye, no-fenol and zyme prime or take

extra buddy bears.

I think I like the idea of taking extra buddy bears and just getting

one kind of pill. I hope that isn't terrible. The bottle says to

take 1 pill a day with 2 meals. would I just give 1 with each meal,

or do I need to double up some.

How do I know a good amount. What happens if we gave too much?

Anything? I also don't want to waste money.

Thank you all for your help.

HNI does have chewables, so that appears to be an option. Or just

give more of the Buddy Bears.

Check the Buddy Bear for corn ingredients.

> What should I do about a probiotic. I need that right?

You can use those. I think HNI has a chewable, not sure tho.

Shirley,

Taking one pill a day wouldn't make any sense. I'm actually kind of

shocked they recommend that. Digestion occurs up to 2 hours after a

meal. But a bear wouldn't last that long. But definitely take at

least one with each meal. (Still extremely weak). You're probably

going to laugh at my next suggestion but my nephew takes Enzymedica's

PET DIGEST. Yes it's for pet's but he thinks it salt. It comes in a

little shaker bottle. Even though it is Enzymedica's absolute weakest

digestive product, it still had 28,00 active units of protease verses

5,000 for the gummies or 7,500 amylase versus the 1,000 for the

gummies. In the end you spend more ont he gummies because you would

need to take more pills. The pet digest is about $27.00. The gummies

are retailed at 14.00. But PET DIGEST is 5X stronger in protease 7X

in Amylase. But if you're son will only take te gummies, it of course

is definitely still worth it. Some enzymes are better that none. Hope

this helps!

Hi all,

My name is Vicki and I live in Elk Grove, Ca, near Sacramento, CA. We had a

" toxic mold " home... Lowe's mis installed a washing machine in our home in

2005... 9 months later after our walls could no longer handle to soak in the

water, the water started showing itself around the machine. For 2 months, we

tried to get Lowe's to come out and only after filing a complaint with the

Better Business Bureau, did they finally send an adjuster out. Well... the mold

was so bad we had to leave the home immediately. Our 10 year old has permanent

lung damage and even though it is 3 years later... getting any doctor to " help "

us in regards to our exposure is like pulling teeth. the moment you mention

mold exposure, they back peddle. Yes... we are in the middle of a huge

lawsuit.... yes, we may or may not go to trial... We have all our " legal "

people in line... we need a doctor that will truly treat us! Our son's

allergist, when I asked if his chemical sensitivity, severe new food allergies

and chronic sinus infections could be mold related... he said... oh... um...

no... this has to be from when he was young! HELLO!

Help.... we need help. Does anyone know a Hills physicians doctor who

understands what being poisoned from mycotoxins does to ones health. Does

anyone know a doctor who will truly treat us and not try to push us aside...

I am absolutely shocked at the lack of help we can find for our children and

ourselves and it is 3 years after the exposure. At this point, our 10 year old

is getting worse and we need a good doc.

Thanks so much,

Vicki Booros
