Re: Re: Food/metal intolerance testing Edinburgh

[Guest guest]

Hi Gillian,My daughter isn't GFCF but we use enzymes and this works for us.She doesn't crave foods which contain gluten/casein.We had klebsiellla (a really nasty bacteria)a couple of years ago where Noor was constantly hungry with foul smelling breath (and stools).Rifaxin (an antibiotic) and enzymes helped put the bacteria to bed.We did try eliminating dairy 3 years agoand I didn't see a change. Her stools have always been fine. I must say that her dairy/gluten intake is limited even though she isn't GFCF.Most people on this forum have noticed positive things by eliminating these. I recommend that you give it a go. Keeping a diary would be really beneficial too.Good luck!ZahraSent from my iPhone

HI Mandi,

his bowels are fine - he is quite regular daily.

he loves pasta and cheese but I notice if he wats too much cheese he gets the excessive night sweats.

other foods are bread, bacon, gammon, sausages, ham, apples pears, raisins grapes, rice cakes, pancakes, yoghurt, custard, fromage frais, crisps & sweets (if you let him, KFC popcorn chicken( the only time he will eat chicken), doughnuts MCdonalds fries.

What do you mean by digestive enzymes targeted at casein, remember I am a complete virgin in this area.

Thanks

Gillian

>>Cheese is high in phenols, night sweats common with those issues, Epsom Salts baths should help and No Fenol enzyme. Goodle 'autism PST' autism Epsom Salts' for more info. Phenols are in most everything so removing them is hard but lowering them helps, so does No Fenol in many cases as it makes sure the phenolic compounds in foods are properly broken down.

other foods are bread, bacon, gammon, sausages, ham, apples pears, raisins grapes, rice cakes, pancakes, yoghurt, custard, fromage frais, crisps & sweets (if you let him, KFC popcorn chicken( the only time he will eat chicken), doughnuts MCdonalds fries.What do you mean by digestive enzymes targeted at casein, remember I am a complete virgin in this area.

>>The G and GFCF is Gluten and the C is Casein, one reason the GFCF diet may work is they are improperly broken down (opioid peptide theory) so if you use a digestive enzyme that breaks it down then you remove need for diet. However, there are other reasons diet might work, dairy is high sulphur, some kids do better off it, Gluten can be inflammatory in which case the enzymes will probably help but not in the same way as the diet would.

IF I am still taking nonsense post again
