Have you tried enzymes? Someone here mentioned that that's what helped

their child's belly. We've been gradually building up the enzymes here for

almost 2 weeks now. My DS3's belly seems to be a little smaller, so I'm

hopeful. I hadn't heard about it being stool stuck in the gut. My son has

always been very proficient with BMs - he's been doing much better on SCD.

I was the one that mentioned that enzymes helped my child's swollen belly (see

message

#40704). At first I used just one enzyme, Houston's AFP Peptizyde. After being

on the

Peptizyde enzyme for a week, my daughter went from playing with her little

sister for just

5 minutes MAXIMUM to playing with her for 3 hours at a time. It was a very

dramatic

change - and I was not the only one who noticed it. I asked Dr. Houston about

this

change in behavior because we had been very strict GFCFSF (also corn free, rice

free). He

replied that some children might have problems with numerous proteins, not just

casein

and gluten (which are both proteins).

Within a few months I added Enzymedica's V-Gest (formerly called Carbo) and also

Houston's No-Fenol.

I don't know which enzyme or combination of enzymes were responsible for

eliminating

the swollen belly but it was definitely the enzymes that did it.
