OT: Question about maltodextrin present in legal enzymes

[Guest guest]

I've been reading around on the Autism and Enzymes yahoo group and

came across some references to the fact that there are trace amounts

of maltodextrin in ALL available enzymes (Houston, Kirkman, etc etc).

Here is a post by Devin Houston of Houston NI in reference to the

maltodextrin in enzymes:

" When the enzymes are in the liquid form during purification, they are

sprayed

onto a very

thin layer of maltodextrin and dried. That is then crushed into powder

form and

sent to

the US from Japan.

So to answer your question, it all happens before encapsulation "

Does this mean that Houston enzymes (and all others using this same

process) should be SCD illegal? What about GI pro health's Prozyme

(which is the same as Klaire lab's Vital Zyme Complete) that states

that all traces of maltodextrin have been removed through a filtering

process? I'm guessing that is a more SCD appropriate enzyme? Or is the

amount left in the other enzyme brands so minimal that it really

doesn't matter?

If anyone can enlighten me, I would be more than greatful!

Kids: son Rhowan 5 years old, chronic diarrhea, ADHD behaviors,

salicylate intolerance; daughter Willow 6.5 yrs old, salicylate

intolerance

SCD take two 1 month (haven't redone the intro diet yet)
