Re: Question on enzymes and culturelle

[Guest guest]

I would do the enzymes separately, especially for a 5 month old. Giving it

separately, allow you to play with the dose and give him/her a dose that is

appropriate; he/she also might not tolerate all of them.

My daughter has issues with milk and culturrele did not agree with her.

However, I have heard other moms whom children are a little sensitive do

well with it. I would give it arty, but start very low like ¼ cap for two

days, then move up slowly.

I have never tried TriEnza, however, I have heard that when dumped

into food or drink, it has a very unpleasant taste. Why are you

looking into enzymes for your 5 mn old...if you don't mind me asking?

Bridget,

If you're dealing with a milk allergy, I would not use Culturelle.

There is a brand called Flora-Q from Kenwood Therapeutics, a

division of Bradley Pharmaceuticals _www.bradpharm.com_

(http://www.bradpharm.com) that is

gluten free on its label and has a statement that says that it is free

of the following allergens: wheat/gluten, milk/lactose, eggs, fish,

crustacean shellfish, soybeans, tree nuts and peanuts. It also says

that it is preservative free and does not have to be refrigerated. We

pay about $30 for a 30 capsule bottle at our local Kroger or CVS in

the pharmacy but it's not prescription. It was however prescribed

specifically by a gastroenterologist for my son and now by his

pulmonologist after a recent diagnosis of asthma when he had to

be given antibiotics for another problem.

As far as your question goes about TriEnza, I would contact Dr.

Devin Houston _devin.houston@..._

(mailto:devin.houston@...) and specifically

discuss the situation with him. He is so helpful.

PS

My 7 year old has multiple food allergies, eczema, asthma, and

a recent diagnosis of Auditory Processing Disorder. All of these

are much improved when his GF/CF rotation diet is followed and

he is allowed to have his enzymes. We use TriEnza.

Depending on what you are trying to address, that would be a good

choice to consider.

>>Or is it better to use separately No-Fenol and Zyme Prime?

If you want to try it this way, that would be okay also.

> What dose should we use?

I would start with 1/2 capsule of TriEnza and Zyme Prime, 1/4 capsule

of No-Fenol.

Depends on the child. Some kids do fine with it, others have problems.

Hi , thank you for asking; my 5 month old is allergic to every

food under the son through my breast milk, is hyper, doesn't sleep,

has sandpaper cheeks, and when I do eat the foods he is allergic to

he quits making eye contact and starts banging his head. And he has

excema. So I figure I better do something sooner rather than later

and the best idea I came up with is enzymes and probiotics. Do you

have any thoughts? I appreciate any help from anyone!!!

I would also consider, taking the enzymes yourself. I did that for a while

and it seemed to help.

Bridget - I would get on POFAKS, parents of food allergic kids. They

actually have a breast feeding support group!

I'll be honest and up front, been there. You'll need to eat your babies

foods and none of his allergens if he is that sensitive. And if allergic to

milk, he may even be allergic to soy. A breast feed baby won't make a good

transition to formula and you can save yourself a ton of grief my feeding

him what he needs through you. The hypo allergenic formulas don't taste

well at all.

Now, that being said. Not sure if that group will discuss enzymes and

probiotics. Been years since I've been there. But they can guide you to

what foods to start out eating yourself, how long to go, usually a week or

two, which ones to add in. They best thing too would be to continue to

breast feed as along as possible too.

My guy had issues with my breast milk too, it was peanuts or maybe even

more. I pumped, doctors thought I was nuts. Didn't figure it all out until

we tried soy formula instead of dairy formula. Been an amazing journey for

sure!

Try taking enzymes yourself. That helps many nursing infants.
