Re: adding DPP-IV forte to HN and PZ

January 22, 2002

> i've been lurking on the list it seems that those kids that do well

on the hnzyme and pz can potentially have added benefits from adding

just the kirkman DPP-IV forte.

I would think this may be true for some people. The DPP IV is simply

straight DPP IV in a capsule...the same that is in Peptizyde and

SerenAid. The DPP IV will work on casein, but probably not much, if

at all, on gluten. If you take the DPP IV with something else with a

general protease you will get better results that just taking it by

itself (unless you have a really good supply of proteases in a well-

functioning gut). Now, I thought about this as well and it can down

to cost for me.

The Forte is 25 cents a capsules for 60,000 HUT of DPP IV

The Peptizyde is 24 cents a capsules for 62,000 HUT of DDP IV plus

you get a lot more protease in it as well, so if you already have

Peptizyde you get a little more DPP IV and protease in each capsule,

plus you save a penny.

So giving one more Peptizyde would give you any bonus that giving a

Forte would, plus the extra proteases to go along with it. If you are

not giving Peptizyde and just want to toss in some extra DPP IV

WITHOUT adding more proteases then the Forte would fit that.

I have started my 5y/o on EnZym-Complete with DPP-IV from Kirkman thinking it

would cover all bases. We are dealing with yeast in the gut and I would

assume malabsorption, etc. I also give Culturelle, CLO, multi-vit ( am

waiting on NU-Thera to come), vit C. Did 2 months of Nystatin with nice

results while doing GFCF. Am getting ready to start GSE as some of the

vaginal and buttock redness and itching are resurfacing. Any opinions would

be appreciated, especially on the enzymes. We plan to do some form of

chelation when we get the gut issues under control. Thanks so much for all

who share your knowledge thru your experience. N.
