No-Phenol or Phenol Assist.

[Guest guest]

Our Dr. suspects phenol issues with our daughter and has suggested us

trying the Phenol Assist. (Kirkman's) While I was doing some research about

this I also came across a chewable product, No Phenol (Houston). Does

anyone know if these 2 products are about the same as far as results? Is one

better than the other? I think that both are SCD legal. I saw posts in the

archives about both of these products but saw nothing about comparing the 2

products.

The chewables from Houston are NOT SCD legal. That version contains

fructose and xylitol which are both illegals. Only the powdered and

capsule forms with cellulose (and not the one with rice bran) are SCD

legal.

As far as comparing Houston's with Kirkman's, I've heard far more

success stories from the Houston's. That said, it didn't work for us

(we took it for over a year with no results), but I think we are the

exception and not the norm.

We take Houston's other digestive enzymes, afp peptizyde and zyme

prime, and I feel like they have contributed greatly to our overall

healing. But as far as tolerating phenols go, the only thing that has

helped us is fanatically strict SCD and the SCD yogurt.

K in Dayton, Ohio

Hashimoto's Thyroiditis, Fibro, CFS, yeast/candida, copper overload,

adrenal fatigue (mostly healed!!!)

Kids: son Rhowan 5 yrs old, chronic diarrhea/loose stools,

yeast/candida, ADHD, salicylate intolerance; daughter Willow 6.5 yrs

old, mild GI issues, salicylate intolerance

Started SCD June 2006, went slightly off for awhile in Nov 2006, back

on strict SCD starting May 2007. (Redid intro the last week of June

2007 and discovered that most carbs have to be thoroughly

pureed in order for my son to tolerate them). Sept 07 UPDATE: Seeing

MAJOR improvement in behavior and salicylate tolerance, son has

FINALLY potty-trained, and he is having frequent " trophies. "

We have tried both no - fenol and phenol assist. No- fenol didn't help

but phenol assist does.phenols still has a build up effect and we have to watch

how much we give him of any one problem food. Like apples are still something we

avoid but can now have almond flour and honey which we couldn't have before.

Enzymes are all so different and different results for every one the people at

kirkman said its like eggs there are so many ways to cook eggs but they all

taste different so even though its a enzyme for phenols you just have to try and

see what works for you. by the way we get all our other enzmies from Houston

because they work better for us but kirkman's for the phenol. I also agree that

its the diet that is going to help the most but I wouldn't give up my enzymes

because without it we are so limited. We Have ben on the diet for over a year my

son couldn't have so much when we first started and it's amazing. it's still

very limited but before he couldn't

have eggs, honey, almonds,and most fruits. right now he is eating almond

pancakes with honey syrup and I am sooooo excited. This diet works. good luck.
