Nervous about Enzymes - help!

[Guest guest]

Since we have discovered the evils of gluten, casein and phenols on

my sons system, we have almost 100% reduced the amount of g, c and p

he is getting, with great results.

I have Enzymedica gluten-ease which I've used twice so far when

giving him his low fat kefir with all of his supplements in it, and

I've not noticed anything - meaning neither craziness or overly-

normalness. Just nothing special, which I realize is good.

But I'm just so nervous about this! Really seriously, tell me, for

all intents and purposes, I could give this kid 1 or 2 gluten-ease's

and half a bagel and he wouldn't go crazy-o on me? It just seems

too, well, perfect.

I purchased the enzymedica because we are leaving for vacay tomorrow

and I didnt' have enough time to get the Houston enzymes I really

want, I fully intend to order them upon our return - and by then I

will hopefully be feeling more comfortable with the gluten-ease and

how its working.

Call me crazy. I know. I just envision us on the plane tomorrow and

there being those little mini cartons of milk being passed out with

breakfast and wanting to throw an enzyme cap in there and have a

go. I hate experimenting on my kid! He;lp me through this!!!

It seems to depend on the kid whether enzymes allow them to eat gluten

or casein. It seems that lots of people on this list use enzymes

instead of diet, and I envy them! My son is one of those kids who

can't have any gluten or casein no matter how many enzymes I give him.

I use Houston, by the way. I do think that the enzymes have helped

reduce his reaction when he has an unintended exposure, and he does

much better when he gets them so I give them every time he eats. I'm

working now on healing his gut so that he can expand his diet later

on. You will just have to figure out for your own son what works for

him. I understand about not wanting to experiment. My thought is

also that we have something going that is working well (his gut is

showing signs of healing), so why mess around with it? The only

advantage to adding gluten or casein back in is convenience (okay, so

that's a big reason).

Best of luck with this!

I used HNI AFP Peptizyde, not Glutenease. I was able to add back

wheat with AFP, and my son noticeably improved.

My son needed more than enzymes for milk. But the enzymes did work

for wheat.
