Re: New to Group - Question about Digestive Enzymes

Houston has chewables that might work nice for a toddler. Kind of like a sweat

tart?

Brainchild Nuticitionals has a natural yeast protocol program, natural, drop you

can hide nice in juice. Take a look at that.

We've never done the prescriptions.

Biotin, cheap, good for yeast.

New to Group - Question about Digestive Enzymes

Hello. I have a 2 1/2 year old Autistic son. We are doing everything we can to

help him, including countless therapies, ABA, a DAN protocol and have just

started the GFCF diet a month ago. Today I saw an article about a new drug being

fast tracked by the FDA for the treatment of Autism. It was a digestive enzyme

for protein. This was the first time I have heard of this and would prefer not

to wait another year or more before I start something like this.

Does anyone use digestive enzymes for their toddler, in addition to the GFCF

diet? And if so, can you please give me a recommendation on a brand? Could there

by any side effects and has your child experienced any?

Also, I have been reading a lot about Nystatin or Diflucan. I am skeptical of

prescriptions but have read that many children have extreme gains after taking

one of these medications. Anyone have any thoughts or suggestions?

Thank you so much to all that respond. We are only about 6 months into this

but I want to do all that I can for my son on his road to recovery.

Thank you again,

Stacey

I love Houston's enzymes www.houstonni.com If you call them, they can recommend

the right one for you and even send out samples. I put it in applesauce for my

daughter and take chewables along if we are going to be out around mealtimes.

Also, check out www.enzymestuff.com for a lot of great information too.

There's a ton of natural supplements for yeast...biotin, GSE, caprylic acid...

My vote goes to houston too, we say huge improvement in behavior and health with

diet, with enzymes we say growth (had not seen that in two years) she was in 18

month clothes at 3 she is now 5 in size 5! Also we say clearer thinking and the

drunken sailor walk is gone. Obviously we have done other things too but biggest

progress I attribute to TriEnza! Even if it isn't a miracle worker, the idea of

digesting your food and the nutrients in it is what anyone needs.

Just my opinion but I have looked at prescription enzymes for digestion and they

are filled with fillers, Houston's are NOT Good for you for being proactive!

Enzymestuff.com is a GREAT!!! resource for info on how why and what enzymes do

I have to agree with Angie, we use trienza, tried others but saw super

great improvement with the Houston brands, We also use their stress relief

which is a combo of B's, zinc, and great for MOM......And my son that is

high anxiety.

We love TriEnza from Houston. I would start with a low dose and increase over

time.

Here is the link concerning the FDA approval of a new pancreatic enzyme.

http://www.fda.gov/Drugs/DrugSafety/PostmarketDrugSafetyInformationforPatientsan\

dProviders/ucm204745.htm

As for non-prescription enzymes, I agree with the others. Houston enzymes have

been great here. We use Trienza (combination of AFP Peptizide (for proteins),

Zyme Prime (for carbs and fats) and No Fenol (for phenols)) and additonal No

Fenol and they have worked well for us. Definately start slow. Too large a

dose can cause gastro problems. You may also want to to try individual enzymes

first as opposed to a combo like Trienza. That way if there's a problem, you

can identify which one it is. Some also find that they can take them

individually with no problems, but cant do the combo.

As for Nystatin/Diflucan, its worked well for some. The biggest concern I would

have with Diflucan is that it can be hard on the liver. Nystatin doesnt have

those issues. In any event, neither would work for us as my sons yeast is

resistant to both.

Grapefruit Seed Extract and Enzymes like Candex and Candidase have worked here

along with lots of probiotics and Biotin. GSE also doesnt cause liver/kidney

problems.
