So, I'd like to begin enzymes and I don't know which way to start. Is

Trienza from Houston the best way to go to 'experiement' and give it

a go? We are going to take the gluten out as much as we can again

now, but he's also starting preschool and I will be sure to talk with

them.

>>I would do the individuals first, AFP Peptizyde or Peptizyde if you are

looking for enzyme to deal with Gluten. Try to avoid anything with food

colourings, Asparatme or lots of sugar, all of which cuase problems for most

kids,

special like ours or not

Anyway, suggestions welcome here. I'm quite confident we're onto

something with the Gluten issues (andperhaps some milk sensitivities

too) and the food coloring. Dosage and method suggestions too.

Watching the increase in craziness over hte past few days tells me I

DON " T want to go back to the way it was and we are more than ever

committed to getting his health and well being on track.

>>>Thats what got me committed too, and keeps me that way!

HI all. We're just beginning our DAn journey for our 2 1/2 year old

no-dx son (apraxia of speech, but no asd) He's basically borderline

but moving further away. We did blood and stool testing last week

(sent out) and will hopefully get the urine out tomorrow for testing.

For about 6 weeks we have reduced the amount of gluteny things he has

been eating and replacing it with more whole grains and GF foods,

most of which have been going well. We've added B12 and SuperNu

Thera and have increased the amount of Omega 3 he has been getting.

We've switched from whole milk yogurt to low fat Kefir and I made

fresh goats kefir yesterday which we'll try today.

At my house, it would have been the blue lollipop.

You can certainly try that, or just the AFP Peptizyde, see if that

helps the gluten.

For food coloring, consider No-Fenol [or TriEnza].

I am no expert but at least get his diet totally clean for a couple months

and see what great results you get. We’ve been clean for 4 ½ years, once

you get used to it, it goes well.

About preschool. We just provide our sons save snack. I don’t rely on

others to follow “the rules” of food allergies, nor do I have that level of

trust. A fruit snack isn’t a fruit snack and dealing with a peanut allergy,

it takes extra diligence. My son carries his really cool spider man snack

pack and picks out his safe snack/juice every time. BTW, the one preschool

he attended served water. I love that! So many kids don’t like water but

when all your friends are drinking its cool!

Hi,

I started my son on gf/cf around Thanksgiving (bad timing on my part)

and by the third week I realized 2 things: my dh was not going to be

willing to go gf/cf, so there was always lots of no-no foods around

and ...... I could not control what was going to happen at school

during snack or lunch time. When I found that HNI had enzymes that

could replace the diet I started right away. I am VERY happy with the

results. Not only do I feel they are working, but it's one less thing

for me not to worry if something has trace amounts of gluten or

casein in it ( and believe me, I have alot of other things to worry

about)My son tolerates enzymes and supps well, so he's flourished on

them.

Just a side note: I got rid of anything with artificial flavors and

colors regardless. They are made from chemicals and petroleum and

don'thave a place in a child's diet whether autistic or not. I try to

be as organic as possible as well. You are going to have to give it

time to experiment and see results with enzymes, but please consider

removing artificial stuff altogether. It's really bad stuff!

My son'S DAN! doctor told us to use

Kirkman's EnZym-Complete/DPP-IV if he had a " slip " . It is GFCF, and

destroys all gluten and casein.
