Guest guest Posted September 2, 2005 Report Share Posted September 2, 2005 My daughter (who has UC) has been on SCD for 2 1/2 years and has developed reactions to many of the meds (she is currently only on prednisone). Even with the prednisone she has had loose stools for 1 1/2 years now. We eliminated all supplements for awhile because there was worse reactions with them. Now we are starting to add some back. When she added fish oil back she noticed a fish smell with her bowel movements and an oil scum on the surface. Her new naturopath dr. says she's not digesting fats and needs lipase. Her Dr. is located in another state and sent us a bottle of Tyler Lipo-Similase. Two capsules of it has 2378 LU of lipase. I have some Houston HN-Zyme on hand but it has only 400 LU of lipase per two capsules. The thing that worries me about the Tyler product is that it is in a " natural polysaccharide capsule " . I can have her take it out of the capsule--but her Dr. wants her to take it with the fish oil capsules on an empty stomach, so there would be no food to mix it with. Any advice would be appreciated.

Guest guest Posted September 2, 2005 Report Share Posted September 2, 2005 Hi Rhonda, Lypo by Enzymedica would be a good enzyme to take. It is contained in a cellulose capsule. If that's a problem, you can take NoFenol with it which has cellase and that will break down the cellulose capsule before it even enters the gut and therefore not feed any yeast or microbes. You might want to check out the enzymesandautism group at yahoogroups.com.

This is the cellulose or veggie capsules which most enzymes come in. Elaine has said the amount and type of cellulose in certain supplements such as this is okay. The No-Fenol has cellulose but no lipase...so it wouldn't help with the fish oil. It probably is fine taking the enzymes in or out of the capsule with the fish oil. Does the fish oil come in one of those gel capsules? . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 31, 2005 Report Share Posted October 31, 2005 My daughter is very early on SCD, at what point should one consider enzymes? She refuses food a lot, would enzymes help with that? She's only been on SCD maybe 6 or so weeks. Thanks, > > All of this enzyme talk has got me wanting to try my son on them > again, only this time while following SCD. > > I went to order, but first went to the pecanbread web site to see > which ones are SCD legal.
