Guest guest Posted June 25, 2009 Report Share Posted June 25, 2009 Hi , That book is great - it gives a ton of suggestions. One thing she suggests is the " low and slow " method. Meaning, in the beginning giving very little of the capsule to your daughter and slowly building her body up to more of the capsule, maybe more times in a day, and so on. Although you do want to start your daughter off with a broad-spectrum enzyme blend if it's too much for her tummy right now DeFelice recommends one of these: V-gest (previously was called Carbo, by Enzymedica) Lacto (by Enzymedica) - particularly good for dairy intolerance Zyme Prime (by Houston Nutraceuticals, not HN-Zyme Prime) (that is from the website, www.enzymestuff.com) I wasn't sure if your daughter is taking the HN-Zyme Prime or the regular Zyme Prime, she's recommending the regular Zyme Prime. I also would suggest to try giving her the enzymes with her food or her juice. This may help with the nausea. Also, I'm sure the taste it leaves in her mouth isn't too good. Alot of parents will mix them with applesauce or even jelly and give their kids toast with jelly. That website gives a list of ideas you can mix it with. It's also possible her nausea is die-off reaction. I'd try staying at the dosage for a few days without increasing it and seeing if she feels better. If she does, you could slowly increase the dosage, keeping in mind the " low n slow method " . If still after a few days of the same low dosage, I would decrease it a little and try that for a few days. I hope this helps you guys out. Hopefully your daughter gets eating again soon!

Guest guest Posted June 27, 2009 Report Share Posted June 27, 2009 Hi , We started my son on ProSol Digestive Enzymes, which you have to get through a physician, which I think are milder (not positive though), as the nurse at my son's pediatricians office had told me that if we wanted to use Klaire to only give him half because they are so strong, but that I could give him a whole one of the ProSol, they are chewable as well. I crush them and put them in juice and he's been taking them just fine. Hope you find one that works for you. > > Hello Everyone, > > I'm resuming enzymes for my almost 4 year old daughter with Autism.
