The regression duration varies but once it's over there is usually progress. You

may want

to go back on the Intro Diet for a few days.

Which enzymes did you try? DId you start him low and gradually

increase or did you start with a full dose? (Please don't call

yourself dumb, okay? - it may be the 3 month regression or it may have

been the enzymes, either way you're a parent trying to help their child

and that in itself is a wonderful thing

To get back to where you were you may want to either go very basic or

even do the intro for a day or two to help settle things down. Has

there been any negative change in his bm's? If yes, then 2-4 days on

the intro. Epsom salt baths and/or activated charcoal may help if you

do this.

That could be his body fighting it. Many have found it shorter when

they redid the intro. It starves the nasties that were " stirred up " .
