Guest guest Posted March 12, 2006 Report Share Posted March 12, 2006 Hey Fay! Have you checked into the Healing Crow yahoo board? They are a SCD board that discusses alternative therapies. Many adults there with UC and enzyme information, I think a post would yield some good information and I believe there have been numerous discussions in the past in the archives. Visit your group " HealingCrow " on the web. Here is something from the archive, a question to Elaine about " Enzymes and Probiotics " . http://www.healingcrow.com/scdwisdom/LWscd/lwscd_28.html Also, the book I keep recommending by DeFelice, she has another book on enzymes not directed towards children with autism. Here is a link about the " Autism " one, which covers alot of ground for other neurological and disease conditions as well. It will still help you understand enzymes. Check it out at http://www.ont-autism.uoguelph.ca/rev-enzymes-jan2003.html One key, I read today that enzymes like peptizyde cannot be used all the time. You can also contact Dave at www.dd-herbs.com and ask about the use of the enzyme " BioGestAid II " which we are trialing, whether it is appopriate for UC. I am thinking that could be a good enzyme because it does not contain papain or bromelain, and is very low in peptidase. Also, you can contact Dr. Devin Houston, the developer of Houston's enzymes at www.houstonni.com. He knows alot of information about enzymes and their actions generally. I hope this will give you a good start. Some GI's will give enzyme recommendations too. It appears from the above conversation with Elaine that proteases can be irritating and digest the lining in cystic forms of UC. Matching the right enzyme will be of utmost importance for you. Summer >>>Would you have other sources of info about enzymes for non-spectrum kids? My son has Crohn's and I wonder if this could help him. Thanks and take care, Fay<<< http://www.pecanbread.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks. I'll look into all this. There's another list that may have some info for me too - here are my concerns: I think that enzymes may help him in any event, but especially since " minor " (nothing intentional's minor, right) infractions seem inevitable. Then with Passover coming up, certain infractions will be necessary - somewhere I have something Elaine wrote about eating matzah - and assuming the enzymes are accessible for Passover, they will help him get through the matzah and leafy vegetables that he'll have to eat.
