Sharon,

Can you call the 800 number from where you are?

You mention his weight in kg, so I am assuming that you aren't in the US.

Devin is very helpful and I am sure that he could help you with how

much to use.

Enzymes are dosed by the person's sensitivities and amount of food, not

age or weight...so halving the dose for a child doesn't apply with

enzymes. If you are just starting with enzymes, give about 1/4 to 1/2

capsule before eating. Increase the dose over the next couple days as

it is tolerated. Generally, one can mix with food or drink and have the

person consume the enzymes at the beginning of the meal. Any food or

drink is fine for mixing.

I am not familiar with g-tube application, so if that is what you are

using, you can contact the company about that...which would be wise

considering that is a special medical situation...and your doctor just

to make sure.

I agree with contacting Dr Houston, he is very helpful. Also, remember that

enzymes don't really dissolve, so it is a thick precipitate and can clog the

tube. Before starting, I would call the company or email him and ask about

optimal media for mixing via g tube and review the amounts for him. my

daughter is about 10kg and we had to start very very slow with her. I bought

graduated measuring spoons and starting giving 1/2 a drop (1/128 of a

teaspoon) with every meal and with breastmilk and then added according to

tolerance. everybody varies with respect to response, so you should start

very slow, keep a journal and note any changes so that you can make an

informed decison at the time of cutting back or adding with respect to

amount, intervals, and additions.

good luck

For our tube fed kiddo, we mix his enzymes with his food or formula and

let it work about 10 minutes then tube feed it. They don't have to

taste the pre-digested taste. We aren't using Houston's yet, so that

they may feel differently.
