Re: Digestive enzymes - when is it necessary on SCD ?

[Guest guest]

Digestive enzymes are not part of the SCD protocol. You can use them if you want

to.... it's an individual decision. For the best information about enzymes,

check out the website: www.enzymestuff.com . If you use one, you will just

need to make sure it does not contain any added ingredients that are illegal on

SCD.

Digestive enzymes - when is it necessary on SCD ?

Hi !

When do one knows that one has problems with

the amount and types of digestive enzymes and

therefore should add some supplement to the SCD ?

How is this in fact tested in a 9,5 year old boy ?

Hi Patti,

maybe I did not make my question so clear !

I mean, is it possible to test the stool or ....

in order to compare with some sort of " normal " values

and this way around one could maybe get an idea IF it

was worth the effort to try to add some of the legal

digestive enzymes that could be low in the result.

My point is this: IF the Pancreas is not working

100 % the way it is suppose to do in a childs body,

then one CAN have big problems in gaining full results

of the SCD no matter how long you stick to it and follow

ALL the guidelines as one should ...! The Pancreas can have

a lot of hidden injuries inside as a result of heavy

medication like AED(eg. Valproate Acid) and so it will not

do the job 100 % as it was intended from the begining.

And as a result of this, it will eventually have problems

producing some of the essential/ main digestive enzymes and

also - if it gets really bad - decrease the insulin production

in the body.... ( So one could in fact be witnessing another

" Vicious Circle " in this respect if there is a hidden problem with

the Pancreas.
