Re:Opening pandora's box...enzymes??

[Guest guest]

There are so many different digestive enzyme products and it may be that your

son needs to start out with something very mild.  It seems like maybe the

enzymes were helping, because the red cheeks decreased.

 

For my son, he was very sensitive to enzymes - he could not handle papain or

bromelain - (pineapple and papaya)

 

We found an enzyme called digestive stomach enzyme from Maile Pouls and this he

was able to handle.  After a while, I also put him on candidase and vira stop

enzymes, both on an empty stomach - last thing before bed and I would actually

wake him at 5:00 a.m. for the other dose.  All three of these enzymes have

helped tremendously over time.

Thanks Ladies for the suggestions!!

Actually we've been thru 5 different brands and about 8 different

types of enzymes. Starting with the 3rd ones and on we tried were

fruit-free and still it was a no go. The seemed to really make him

irritated. I will say however, the best ones we tried at the end were

the Loomis enzymes. I really liked those the best. Also, we didn't

start getting the red cheeks until we started all the enzymes.

But, I think DS' gut is just too screwed up to be on enzymes at this

point. I really didn't think he had any yeast issues until after

starting the enzymes. So, I guess its just a matter of what yeast

fighting supplements work for him, get that taken care of and then

hopefully we can get back to the enzymes.

I'm hoping the treatment center I just filled out the paper work for

helps us better understand how to fix this child's gut.

And as far as trying yeast supplements...has anyone had a problem with

Biotin?

So, we've had to cross out the following:

biotin

GSE

Kirkman's Probiotic wafers

Candase

And we started Candax today. Hopefully this works for us. I feel so

bad for the lil guy...I'm throwing all these different things at him

and he's getting tummy aches and not in a good mood. I'm taking

everything he's taking so hopefully I can experience what he has to go

thru. And I didn't think I was yeasty...but I think I am...in my

throat...is that possible??

It requires magnesium for proper absorption, so it can be constipating

if your child is deficient.

Yeast die off can do this, so it might be that the supps you have been

trying have actually started addressing the problem. Try giving

activated charcoal about 45 minutes after the yeast fighters, see if

that helps.

Thrush is yeast in the throat. I have had that before. Not fun.
