I think CarnAware is carnosine, which is different than carnitine.

Hopefully someone else can verify that.

Yes, or metals, or a host of other potential issues.

You can try that and see if it helps.

Zinc is good to reduce high copper levels. Start with USRDA, scroll

Only if your child is deficient. Iron overload is a problem for many

kids.

My son tolerated no foods unless given with enzymes, so I had to give

enzymes with everything he ate or drank.

For my son, enzymes went for 60-90 minutes. If the snack was 60

minutes later, and a small snack, the enzymes would have covered it.

But a larger snack, or closer to 90 minutes, I would have had to give

additional enzymes.

I gave them together, along with No-Fenol, with everything.

Hi Matt

As you are just starting out I would repeat the enzymes if over the 60 min

time frame, in fact I'd probably just give some more.

As time goes on and he adjusts to the enzymes and gets some active healing

done in the gut (I personally don't beleive GFCF does this at all) then you

will be able to experiement and judge best for your lad.

If he is having several small meals/snacks (my son is a grazer) you can

empty a cap out into a cold drink, give him a few swigs before each sitting and

put in back in the fridge for later. They are good for up to 4 hours this way.

Good luck, we came of the GFCF deit with HNI 4 years ago this month Much

more improvements off diet than on (YEAHHHHHHHHHHHH!)

Mandi in UK

Should I be giving them with every meal AND

snack? If the meals/snacks are within 60-90 minutes of one another

will the previous enzyme cover the recent snack? Should the Peptizyde

and ZymePrime be given together with all meals/snacks? Sorry so many

questions but I just wanna do this right. My son is 5 and has been

GF/CF for over three years. I was going to do SCD but if this works

I'll be psyched! He's doing really well but I'm never satisfied

Hi Jenifer, My son is going to have his first DAN visit this Friday after

months of being on the waiting list.

Since I noticed his possible diagnosis of ASD, I have done the following in a

course of six months on my own and with the help of this group:

Cod Liver Oil( Nordic Natural), 1 tsp

All three Houston Enzymes with meals and snacks ,1/2 capsule

GFCF Diet

Kirkman's Probio Gold, 2 caps

and recently added:

Multi Vitamins and Minerals 1 tsp, 3x day

0.5 milligram of melatonin before bedtime

the result are the following:

Reduced obssesive behavior

lost his excessive separation anxiety

End of symptoms of irritable bowls syndrome

reduced stimming

and he stopped hitting himself

Cognitive improvements

Vocalization

happiness

sense of humor

expresstion of love

sustained eye contact

and doesn't seem to be in pain

My son has learned more in the past three months of GFCF diet than in the

14th month prior to that. also he has put on 1.5 lb of weight in the past

three months while the 11 months prior to the diet, he had only gained 0.5 lb

while he had grown 4 inches in height. He is still below the 5th percentile of

BMI which makes him underweight but has gained great muscle tone.

The problem I still struggle with are yeast.

Best,

haleh

Dear Haleh:

I am so happy that you are finally going to see a DAN after waiting for so

long.

I am also glad to know that your son is doing so good on the bio-med

interventions you

've started on your own .

Best of luck with everything. Keep us posted.

What enzymes did you give (product and dose)?

>>>He had step in aug. then last month he was sick again,the doctors

are still unable to tell me what it was.

You mean strep? What do the doctors recommend you do now?

>>>Is there any supplement I can give with enzymes to strenghten the

immune system.

There are some. The enzymes may make the immune system strengtheners

work better. Do you know why he stopped the reliv? Was it around the

same time as the strep problem? Oh, and do you give anything else

besides the meds and supplements you mentioned? Thanks.

Welcome, Helen!

Strep? I used olive leaf extract for strep issues for my kids.

Hives can be an allergy or intolerance to something he was given in

the hospital. It can also mean viral die off.

DUH!Is there

I use olive leaf extract and ViraStop enzyme as anti-virals. I give

colostrum, astralagus root, vitamin C, and occasionally a small amount

of iron [i apparently pulled too much with the IP6] to strenthen the

immune system.

ALA is a chelator, so first research what to watch for.

http://www.danasview.net/parent3.htm#chelation

Some kids need to take it every 3 hours, so watch for that.

I gave it 3x per day for my kids, but I started at a lower dose than 30mg.

HNI AFP Peptizyde would digest the casein from the goat yoghurt, and

it does not contain papain or bromelain.
