If you saw crankiness or regression when you started SCD, and also

when you started enzymes, you may see a similar but less intense

reaction with each increase in enzymes. Going slow helps to minimize

this. Generally it takes a day or two to work itself out.

That amount of food is okay. When products say 'on an empty stomach'

it rarely means not 1 molecule of food. They usually mean not on a

full stomach or to the point a major digestive process would start

(stomach acid input, etc). But a lot of people need juice or a couple

crackers or something to even get the supplements or medicines down.

What you suggest is quite fine for enzymes between meals.

>>>Would it work to give her 2 or 3 capsules of AFP with these

snacks? Or is it really a waste of good enzymes?!

Not a waste. That would work out just fine.

>>>> If I can do it on an empty stomach, what's the timing rule?

Would the enzymes need a full hour to do their thing before I can

feed her? Or would 1/2 hour do it? (I'm emptying out the capsules).

Different companies give different timings. Usually 30 minutes to 1

hour before meals is fine, or 2 hours after meals.

>>> Would you give extra Peptizide along with the 2 Candidase at

night, or is that overkill? I've tried giving 1 Candidase and 1

Peptizide at bedtime, and she woke up cranky... may be coincidence

though.

I might try this again. Peptizyde is all proteases, and proteases are

supposed to help 'mop up' yeast cell debris and thus reduce die-off

reactions. I talked to Enzymedica long time about because their

literature says that to reduce die off reactions give more proteases.

Their recommendation was 2 protease capsules for each 1 Candidase

(their all protease product is ViraStop for this use). So try at

least one more time with the Peptizyde and Candidase.

Let me know how it works out.
