Need enzyme recommendation

[Guest guest]

My son is 4 years old, and we have been doing biomed for approx. 6

months now to treat what I consider ADHD symptoms (lack of focus,

hyperactivity, inappropriate behavior, etc.). After a series of

tests, we found quite a few gut issues such as a lack of 5 amino

acids (he is now on a custom-made amino acid powder daily), yeast,

bad bacteria, parasites, inflammation, food allergies, and trouble

breaking down nutrients. After going on a very strict diet and a

supplement regiment, his last 2 GI Stool Effects tests came back

clean on yeast (yea!), much lower on inflammation, and eradicated

some parasites (only to gain a couple of new ones). (Strep also came

up negative.) The main concern on the last test was still his ongoing

inability to break down fats and proteins. We have been using

Klaire's chewable Vital-Zymes for around 4 months now -- 3 before

meals and 2 before snacks.(Although he refrained from taking enzymes

for 4 days prior to the test per the instructions, which tells us

that either the enzymes aren't working, or else the lack of using

them for 4 days showed that he really needs them I guess? Not sure.)

We have concluded that what we're doing in regards to the enzymes

just isn't " enough. "

The way I understand it, this particular brand is more of a " multi-

purpose " enzyme, and my DAN recommended getting one that is more

powerful at specifically breaking down fats and proteins (although I

would think that he would require it to break down other things

besides fats and proteins just to be safe with all of his food

allergies?). She said that she was do some research and get back to

me, but I thought I would also do some research of my own (hence my

post). Before I found this message board, I received the suggestion

to use Houston's (from another group) and ordered some, so it's

on the way. Any other suggestions? It would be nice to find a

chewable, but it's not absolutely necessary.

Thanks for reading!

My son needed mito cocktail before he properly absorbed fats

Hello,

Enzymedica makes the most potent enzyme product on the market. It is

called DigestGold. DigestGold is a broad spectrum enzyme so it will

digest all parts of your little one's meal. Enzymedica also makes one

for fats in particular. That one is called LypoGold. I would

recommend DigestGold because it is high in Lipases (for fats),

Proteases (for protein) and other enzymes too! If you would like a

sample and information just let me know, I'll send them out to you.

Which enzyme prodcuts does Houston offer chewables for? I couldn't find

any offerred for sale on their website -- only capsules or powders.

I believe that other than the Triezna, all are available in chewable form...you

should give them a call.
