Debbie-

I got started by reading here on DeFelice's site: www.enzymestuff.com

She is on this list and can answer any questions you may have. I had been

looking into the gfcf diet and because my son is 6, high functioning and a picky

eater.... I decided to give AFP Peptizyde (for casein, gluten, soy and proteins)

a try from HNI http://216.114.78.114/webcenter/sites/hni/ . We have been

using this for the past month and I could not be more delighted. Supplements

were not working well and I suspected malabsorption issues. Now I am seeing a

difference with food, supplements and his language. He is a picky eater and he

is trying more foods even being a few bites. I am hopeful to working him up to

at least his age---6 bites and all done if he says he doesn't like it. He can

look at it and tell me he doesn't like it before he trys it. But we are getting

better.

I did begin by reading 's book called " Enzymes for Autism and Othere

Neurological Disorders " and found it to be one of the best books I have read!!!

(Thanks !) It has provided me with information not only for my PDD child,

but my 4 yo with digestive problems (from birth) we are now healing his gut! I

would highly recommend it. You can read and excerpt of the book on the

enzymestuff.com website.

Traditional therapy of ST, OT and PT have done wonders for him and our home

program... but he needed more with attention, focus and sensory issues. This is

why I researched enzymes and chelation therapies. Go to her site an learn

everything you can about enzymes... they have been wonderful for us!

My son was diagnosed with Autism almost 3 years ago. So I'm not new to this

lovely rollercoaster ride. I looked into enzymes way back then and decided to go

" noninvasive " with the GF/CF diet. At that time, I wasn't ready to consider

supplements, chelations, enzymes, etc. We've come a long way since then.

He's been GF/CF for most of these 3 years. However, he's extremely limited his

diet for the past year or so. If it's not flat, tan, and crunchy, he won't eat

it.

We've been looking at all sorts of reasons and causes. And one of the things I'd

like to research is the possibility of using enzymes to help with any digestion

issues. Ideally we might be able to give up the GF/CF diet and be able to use

peer modeling to get him to try more foods. He does note what we eat at home and

peers over his friends' shoulders at school to see what they are eating for

snacks & lunch. So he's curious, but not eating it. Most of the snacks at school

have, of course, gluten or casein or both so he gets

something different and isn't allowed to have what his friends are having.

I guess I'm thinking we restrict his foods so that sets him up for ....

restricting foods. (at least for the behavioral component of this eating issue)

So if enzymes would open up avenues for addressing any behavioral component

without worrying about regression due to leaky gut issues ... I'd like to give

it a shot.

If you all could point me somewhere to research and learn, I'd really appreciate

it.

Hello, Autism is a puzzle you must figure out and there will most

likely be set back so getting ready to do some Biomedical stuff over

the summer is a good idea-- I remember getting one thing under control

only for something else to pop up - it happened like ten times in a

row - things that work for one person will work for around 50% of

others mostly becuase of what has already been cleared up in them...

these group are very important for the help and support you need.

Here is my favorite paper print and read ( 50 pages?) it I will help

to decide what to do- If you ask me enzymes are a very easy place to

start and if the are not being made in your childs body already they

are very important for the uptake and use of essential fatty acids and

ammino acids and other supplements.

The master cleanse/lemonade diet is great but it's a fast. You can do

it in as little as 10 days or longer if you want. The money you'd

normally spend on food for 10 days gets spent on lemmons, maple syrup

and cayenne pepper.

http://www.geocities.com/HotSprings/Spa/7244/master_cleanse.html

The longer you do it the more " old fecal " matter you get out. I liked

it because going to the bathroom was predictable. You do a salt water

flush which flushes everything out within 2 hours every morning. So

throughout the day you have no sudden urges and aren't running to the

bathroom. It's also a full detox program and even takes care of

parasites. You just have to do a liver flush a week after going off the

cleanse.

The other 2 most popular ways are Oxypowder and Colonix

www.oxypowder.com

www.colonix.com

If you're prone to constipation you might want to avoid the colonix.

I've heard of it constipating people more. Oxypowder is also really

good but it liquifies everything.

Hang in there !

My guy has big phenol issues which cause hand waving, hyperness, screaming.

I've seen a big jump in language and focus with diet,enzymes and homeopathy.

We are new to helping our son heal and are closer to the beginning of the

journey but we

have seen nice benefits with these things in this order. Other moms on this site

may have

more experience but feel free to e-mail me anytime to share ideas.

- trust your intuition and research and talk to as many informed people as

possible. You

know your son best. What's worked for other mothers has not worked for my son

and vise

versa.

- we read the books Ken Bocks Healing the new childhood epidemics, Impossible

cure,

Enzymes and Autism

-restricted diet -for us this meant-gf/cf/soy, corn, yeast, egg and sugar

free!!!!! (The diet

for me is the hardest part to deal with but we really have no choice right now.)

In the

beginning- take away ANYTHING he may be allergic to. This gives his body time to

rest

and work on other healing.

-probiotic

- enzymes all three houstons(after 3 months my son finally tolerates a whole

no-fenol

capsule) Huge jump in language and focus with enzymes!

_non-classical homeopathy - gently de-toxes his body ( only work with someone

who has

experience with autism and has had good results with other autistic children)

This

brought about a new level of well being and happiness in our son and cleared his

constant

colds

We are going to start adding in a good multivitamin, once I can find one he

tolerates for

sure.

Some moms are getting great results from the Phiffer Clinic.

It's defintily a roller coaster ride!

I wish you and your son all the best,

Dani

Keep a journal, write down everything, and only make one change at a time.

> My concerns for my ds (3 & 1/2) are:

What my son required for language is written here. Anti-virals and

B12 [with a lot of precursers] were the most important.

> 3) self stimulation: waving hand and humming

Hand waving was a visual for my son. See the " issues " link above.

Humming usually meant yeast overgrowth.

Starting with digestive enzymes is probably a good first step.
