Re: Re: Enzymes/What to expect

[Guest guest]

thank you for the info. I was planning on ordering the newest

product EnzymeComplete with DPPIV. It is for all is meant to digest all

types of foods and IF a parent is

adding casein and gluten foods it will digest normal levels of those as well.

It is stronger and more complete than any competing enzyme and also has

higher DPPIV levels.

I have not tested my children for this need, and am waiting for blood results

on dairy, wheat and soy testing. I am not stopping the diet if results are

negative tho, since we are only into it a couple of weeks into it and I think

there has been some benefit. The enzymes seemed worth a try for extra

experimentation. After messing with the dr's for 6 yrs and only getting RX's

for anti depressants and ADHD (which was rediaganosed at my insistance as

Aspergers), I am taking matters into my own hands. My Ped is letting me lead

her thru this.

SO my question with the possible side effects has been answered. Thank you.

As you seem to be much more knowledgeable in this area, is it a possibility

that I may be doing harm by TRYING these enzymes (starting out at low doses

of course). All responses on this and advisements

are appreciated. Thank you so much.

Just try it for yourself and see. Start really slow and work up. I've heard

some really good reports from parents on this product but they did say that

it can cause hyperactivity in the beginning but if you can ride it out,

things get much better. Dr. Holmes is recommending this product to some of

her patients and seems to be very excited about it. I just started this today

and will let you all know how it goes. We have tried Peptizyde but my son

hates it and it caused sores in his mouth (he doesn't swallow capsules). I

was hoping he could take them since I heard such good things about them but

he liked the Enzyme-aid much better and had no reactions to this. If he can't

handle the complete with DPPIV, we'll go back to this.

Thanks Jo, I am going to try these when they arrive. First time for enzymes.

I have already been doing vitamin supplementation on my own (A & D fish oil,

B6, mag, calcium, vit C multi vit) as well as acidolophis and probiotica.

There has been some hyperactivity as it is and I upped the magnesium a

little, but not alot. My sons take these in pill and chewable formats.

Should I discontinue the supplements I give now when I give the new Kirkmans?

ANd is there someething I am giving that could be causing the mushy BM " s my

little one is getting. HE actually has been more whiny and clingy than

normal. Its been over a week GF and two weeks CF. Thanks for your help and

please let me know how you child does with new formula. My 5 yr old can

swallow pills in his applesauce now. I think the liquid CLO pushed that

one!!!LOL

,

It may take quite a bit of time to see normal stools. To be honest

with you, my son Hunter (almost 4) has been on the diet for 19 months and

we've only just started seeing normal BM's in the past 3 months. It can take

a long time to heal the gut but I think you're on the right track by trying

enzymes. There are other things you might want to look into like yeast and

gut bug problems. I think this is a problem in the majority of our kids and

we've seen so much improvement by treating for yeast and parasites. You might

also want to do a little research on chelation (mercury and heavy metal

removal). We've been doing chelation since June with dramatic improvements.

This by far has been the best treatment for him and although we're going

through a regression right now, he's starting to come out of it and is saying

tons of words and he's finally lost his pale look. He has a rosy complexion,

sparkly eyes, and just looks healthy for the first time. You don't have to

stop any of your other supplements when you do the enzymes but we do give

probiotics a half an hour before we give enzymes because I'm told the enzymes

can eat the probiotics so they're not as effective. If you have any more

questions, I'd be happy to help.

mush. Normal?

He is going through withdrawals still and I would attribute his

cranky/clingy behavior to this. It takes the body time to adjust. It would

take all of us a good amount of time to get our bodies to adjust to being

off opiods--he is the same. Keep up the good work,
