Enzymes

[Guest guest]

>>> Do you have any experience of Kirkman's Enzymaid? Do you know if

this is one of the preparations that also works well?

I have tried the original EnzymAid with my older son and myself. I

did not find it nearly as effective. We would have needed to take at

least a good 4 capsules or more to equal 1 Peptizyde. We are not

using it just for contamination or trace unknowns. If we were I would

think it would be effective.

My older son and I also tried the new EnzymAid Complete from

Kirkmans. We used it regularly at every meal and snack for 4 days. It

was MUCH more effective than the EnzymAid, in my opinion. I used the

recommended 1/4 teaspoon which is equal to 2 Peptizyde capsules. 1/8

teaspoon is the quantity of " stuff " that fits into the regular sized

enzyme capsules. We ate regular gluten/casein as usual but did not

overdo it. By the 4th day my son was wetting, which is a usual casein

response for him. However, he was only slightly having a moody

disposition. Not tantruming, not meltdowns or anything else which he

used to display with casein. I also was feeling a mild migraine

headache by the 3 and 4 day, but not the full-blown pain which I

usually get right away with casein. So I think the EnzymAid Complete

is effective for casein/gluten, but we would need to use a higher

dose, such as 3 capsules worth or perhaps 2 capsules of Complete and

one of the DPP IV Forte Analog. Remember that because the Complete

has a full array of enzymes, that you are also getting enzymes for

all other foods, not just the casein/gluten. In that respect, the 1/4

teaspoon of Complete would be roughly the same quantity and mix as

one Peptizyde and one Zyme Prime from Houstons....or SerenAid plus

Vital Zyme Forte from Klaire Labs.

But if you would like to use a Kirkman product, I like the EnzymAid

Complete the best..definitely, and would recommend that one over the

regular EnzymAid.

Hi ,

I have attached a file I received from on the enzymesandautism.com board

it's another e.group like the gfcfdiet.com group that deals mainly with enzymes.

In the file there is information about one brand of enzymes and a link to their

website and information about joining the group. I strongly recommend joining

the group if you want to learn more about enzymes. I am just starting down this

road myself. If for some reason you are unable to open this file, let me know

and I will copy the text to the body of a letter and resend it. I know

sometimes I can't open certain attachments from my computer.

Take Care,

Tana

Hi

I need help and guidance! My son is 15 and I tried gfcf diet last year w/no

success. I am a awful cook and not very creative. He is picky and when I

tried new recipes he hated them and would cheat on his own. Ive thought of

trying enzymes but have no idea what to try! Im very ignorent and very burnt

out. Ive been at this for 9 years. Seen many doctors and tried many meds

etc... Any suggestions on how to try food plan again as well as what enzymes

to buy?????

Thanks
