Questions; Apples; enzymes; cod liver oil & supplements

[Guest guest]

1) Are all apple juices illegal even if they state " no added sugar " ?

Is homemade apple juice legal?

2) Are enzymes advisable if a child has chronic diarhea?

3) Why is cod liver oil preferable to an ordinary vitamin supplement

containing A & D? Is it considered to be more absorbant?

4) Do supplements really make a difference? I've heard it said that

Americans have the most expensive urine in the world because of all the

supplements we take. Should I wait to add supplements until my son's

digestive problems have improved?

Thanks for your help,

April

Yes.

Yes.

I'd like to see what Sheila says on this. I know you should avoid

enzymes if there is ulceration of the gut. I don't think diarrhea

automatically means there are ulcerations, but it could.

The natural form of vitamin A in cod liver oil has a significant good

effect on the body. The synthetic form does not.

They do for some people.

Choose supplements that you and your child's doctor believe in; make

sure you get legal forms. Then add them in one at a time in small

amounts, increasing over time just as if they were a new food. Do not

add them during the intro. The order you add new things is up to you.

Thanks for your advice . I have an SCD legal multi-vitamin from Kirkman's

labs but I've only been giving it to my older son who is not ASD and does not

appear to have digestive problems. My younger son who ASD appears to have

problems with yeast, diarrhea (although I've noticed improvements recently) and

I figured best to hold off on adding any supplements until he has been without

diarrhea and a runny nose (again I've seen improvements) for several weeks.

On another note, Have you heard of zinc assay? If so do you know if it's

legal?

Thanks again,

April

As long as there is no bleeding or active ulceration you could try

enzymes. It is probably best to start with a little bit of enzymes

at first and gradually increase the amounts if they are tolerated.

I took enzymes for a while to aid digestion and was able to wean off

them altogther.

I did a search for " zinc assay " . It looks legal.

Re. giving cod liver oil: my extremely reluctant 10 y/o will take it if it's

mixed in with honey.

I have 2 suggestions.

One would be to get a legal flavored CLO. Nordic Naturals CLO comes in

4 flavors and the flavors are legal.

https://www.nordicnaturals.com/direct/prodsummary.asp?ID=35

Or, shoot the CLO into the back of the mouth with a medicine syringe.

Then, (if you think it would help) give a sip or a bite of something

your toddler likes.
