Guest guest Posted August 21, 2002 Report Share Posted August 21, 2002 Though my kids were not on enzymes as infants (didn't know they had CF when they were infants), ph was on prilosec at 3 weeks of age. What we did with the prilosec was I sometiems lined the beads around my nipple right before he latched on, and other times I began to just dump them from the capsule into his mouth through the corner of his mouth (you have to break the seal a bit) while he was nursing...it worked great. someone on the list suggested it as a way to get him to take them, hope this helps. Take care, Jen > I always just put the beads right into Mycah's mouth and then immediately nursing her. After she finished nursing is when I made sure the beads were all gone. This is how her doctor told me to nurse. She never had any problems except for a rash when she first started on enzymes. > > Lori in Florida > enzyme help > > > Okay I'm stumped on something.

Guest guest Posted December 9, 2005 Report Share Posted December 9, 2005 Digestzymes by Designs for Health. I was looking at Houston in case I need to switch. (sorry to confuse everyone) They have Pancreatin, Amylase, Protease, Lipase, Betaine Hydrochloride,Papain, Pepsin, Ox Bile (?!) and rice bran. I gave him 1/2 a capsule, which I think was way too much. Should I try again in few days with much less or switch brands? Thanks and I will read the info!
