We have been using Peptizyde from www.houstonni.com for casein/gluten

for 4 months with excellent results. My boys and I are extremely

sensitive to casein, even a little bit causes a migraine, and we have

had no problems in all this time. It has only been out since April. I

have completed a summary report on 151 parents' experiences with this

that was posted earlier. Also, there is a Mixing Suggestions document

I will send you that has many ideas that parents have used to get

supplements into their kids. The enzymes would be good if you knew

there might be contamination (give beforehand) or if it was within 90

minutes of an infraction (unplanned, after the fact). Otherwise

enzymes will not be very effective.

Another idea is to use Pepcid AC - tablets, not chewables. These have

worked well for others even a day or two after the fact. Something in

the Pepcid blocks any loose peptides from attaching to the receptors

in the brain and thereby reduces or eliminates any reaction. I have

tried it three times and can't say it helped, but other parents have

had great success with it.
