Are you sure kirkman is legal?

[Guest guest]

Hi I have been using Kirkman's Enzym- complete.

I see it contains disaccarides lactase,maltase is it still legal?

Also it contains Protease th kiwi Bromelain,Papain

Are these ok for a child with Autism?

I notice GI PRO health prozymes says it avoids excessive amounts of proteases.

Hi Niall,

<< Hi I have been using Kirkman's Enzym- complete.

Lactase and maltase are not disaccharides. They are both

disaccharidASES. LactAse is the enzyme that digests lactOse.

MaltAse is the enzyme that digests maltOse. The difference in the

similar sounding words i have changed to upper case. The

dissacharides (sugars)end in " -ose " , the enzymes end in " -ase " .

<< Also it contains Protease th kiwi Bromelain,Papain

> Are these ok for a child with Autism? >>

Protease, bromelain and papain are all legal enzymes for any SCDer.

Sometimes people are not ready to tolerate them or able to tolerate

certain concentrations of enzymes. For those people allowing more

healing before the introduction of enzymes, different formulations of

enzymes or gradually increasing the amounts can help.

<< I notice GI PRO health prozymes says it avoids excessive amounts

of proteases. >>

Some people are sensitive to proteases at the beginning of the diet

and others are not. There are many different typres and brands of

formulations of enzymes for those who wish to use them on the diet.
