SV: Lactose

[Guest guest]

n,

Thanks for your reply. The lactose I am concerned about is an ingredient in

the Urecholine that was prescribed for my son. Do you recommend enzyme

supplements with that?

Thanks

It's hard to avoid lactose altogether. For instance, it's a very popular

" filler " used by the pharmaceutical industry. When you have to use it, we

recommend that you give enzyme supplements along with it.

Generally, the pharmaceutical companies use lactose that has been refined to

a relatively high purity. " Food grade " lactose carries a much higher risk of

contamination.

For the first 3-6 months on the diet, I wouldn't be too preoccupied about

lactose. If the patient's system is adapted to high levels of peptides, the

tiny amounts of protein that come with a few grams of carbohydrate are unlikely

to cause much trouble. Later on, the patient's sensitivity is likely to

increase. In the first month on the diet, you might " need " a dose of 10 grams

of protein to create a (noticeable) harmful effect. Later on, one tenth of a

gram may be enough to turn your household upside down for ten days or more.

Beware: This is just a general guideline based on our experience (10 years) and

Dr. Reichelt's advice. There are large differences between individual patients.

Some are far more sensitive than others.
