Re: GlutenEase effective when AFP Chewable not?

[Guest guest]

Hi Daphne,

I have read (and experienced) that whenever enzymes are tried for the first few

days to weeks, that regression sometimes occurs. They sweep up a lot of

stomach/intestine debris also, and sometimes you can have a small die off

effect. We did the chewable and only gave one with each meal. I think three may

have been a high dose for the first time.If he needs more you can gradually

increase.

I know that my kids cannot tolerate wheat with any enzymes at all. You may want

to have your son tested for Celiac, but also test his IgA antibodies as well.

They can indicate Celiac type symptoms.

Hope this helps,

My experience is limited to dairy infraction since gluten doesn't bother me and

I took Trienza. Anyway, I took the trienza and ate dairy with no ill effects

until the fourth day. What I have gathered is that I can have dairy in limited

amounts and several days in between as long as I use the enzymes. I have an

almost immediate reaction without enzymes. Maybe your child is not ready for

this step.

Subject: GlutenEase effective when AFP Chewable not?

After being gfcf for 2 years, we challenged my son with wheat (Amy's alphabet

soup) on Sunday. We gave him 3 AFP Peptizyde chewables with water abour 10

minutes before the infraction.

Within 1.5-2 hours after the infraction he was exhibiting pre-diet behaviors:

whispering to self, gibberish, unresponsive to questions, visually stimming. It

was very clearly related to the wheat, as he has not had these behaviors for a

very long time.

I am planning on doing another challenge soon with the same exact food. This

time, I am planning on giving him 2 GlutenEase 15 minutes before the infraction.

Has anyone experienced GlutenEase working for their child when AFP chewable has

not?

(We also do supplements, some Cutler chelation, but everything has been stable

prior to the dietary infraction.)

Any insight appreciated!

I agree, 3 AFP Peps were probably too much for a first time. We have had good

luck with occasional wheat infractions by using 2 Trienza and 1 GlutenEase.

Nothing will help with dairy or soy, however.

Thanks for the feedback everyone. Actually, he has taken 2 to 3 AFP chewables

for a year now, even with being gfcf. So, the reaction was definitely not from

the AFP chewables.
