They last up to 4 hours after getting wet. If you have a DAN! doctor or

any pro-enzyme doctor, have him write a letter or prescription. They won't

argue with medical necessity from a licensed doctor. If not, write a

letter yourself explaining exactly what his behavior is like without the

enzymes and/or on the very limited diet he can have without them, and how

easily this can be avoided by the administration of fresh enzymes. My

son's school had to witness months of bad behavior before they believed me

(I didn't have a DAN! doctor at the time), so I hope you and your son can

avoid having to go through this.

I am pretty sure that if you sprinkle his enzymes into his food and

then pack his food, when he opens his food, it's going to look pretty

similar to vomit. The enzymes will begin to break food down on

contact and if you leave the food and the enzymes mixed together for 4

hours, I don't think he'll like (or eat) the results.

You can try it at home and see what happens, but I don't think it will

work.

I think many moms mix the enzymes into a liquid (like juice) and send

the juice to drink before lunch.

And of course, getting a doctor's note would make it a LOT easier.

It's been pointed out to me that there are parents on the

enzymesandautism Yahoo! list who have figured out what foods the

enzymes can be mixed in and then sent to school.

I would recommend that you go ask this question on that list to get a

better answer.
