Yes. My son left gfcf with HNI enzymes

We had tremendous improvement with enzymes alone, obvious from the 3rd day.

We've never done the diet, although I do use things I've learned here to

encourage healthier choices. My dd was much more open to trying new foods after

she had been on the enzymes for a few months. She also lost her buddha-belly

and her appetite normalized. All headaches and stomach-aches disappeared almost

immediately. We did have 3 weeks of stimminess, which was well worth it. She

gained eye contact, and noticeable improvement in her willingness to interact

verbally and even initiate interaction. She self-reported auditory improvement,

as well. ( " Mom, I can hear what you're saying better. " ) Enzymes were

life-changing for us.

[sPAM] Starting Enzymes with my son

Hi I have a 5 year old with autism. Some of the major problems I have

with him are that he doesn't have much langauge, a very picky eater and

very stubborn. I haven't put him on the GFCF diet because I am scared

that he is going to starve himself. Yes he is that stubborn. I was

reading about the enzymes tonight and I have never heard of it before.

Can I start him on enzymes without putting him on the diet?

Hi

I wanted to do the same thing for my son.  When I approached our DAN doctor

about this he said that

with time *maybe* using enzymes can help introduce forbidden foods  BUT the gut

needs to heal FIRST...he then

told me we should test for food sensitivity with the IG test ( 95 common foods

allergies) and start the diet - I was

so sure that our son would HATE the GFCF diet because he had a *vomit* response

to everything new (food)

But you know what...I went for it! and started GFCF diet in January this year

and have never looked back.

*  his vomitting stopped!   HOORAY

*he is eating more foods ---- FRUITS & veggies!!

* he is SLEEPING the night now ( he would wake 3-4 times a night and sometimes

be up for good at 3am!!!!!!!!

My heartfelt advise to you -research the diet - and go slow - start with one

thing that he *might* like

add some more and take away the others as you start to replace foods.

I found the Talking About Curing autsim website very helpful  - they even have a

10 week plan to start the diet

I used it and got many many other tips there!

hope this helps you

take care

My son's gut did not heal until I started digestive enzymes, added

back a few foods, and chelated the metals out with ALA.

Hi Dana

can you tell me what ALA is?   Can you also tell me the enzymes that you used?

When  I approached the DAN Doctor about using enzymes he said *don't go there!*

But I think that maybe it might be better to add new foods with enzymes.

let me know

Thanks!

Alpha lipoic acid.

Did he say why? If not, then I would ignore that directive.

Hi Everyone,

 

Has anyone out there had this reaction.....

 

My son had 2 cookies.... after I read the package I noticed that they had butter

in them.

 

So I gave him:

 

1 AFP Houston chewable enzyme

 

After wards ( 3 hours later )

 

He started to have some BM's  ( I know that this can happen )

 

but he started to get a very bad rash on his bum ( all around in sorry * anus *)

 

just like if he had his diaper on for too long.

 

In total he had 4 very small BM's yesterday and his bum is very sore.

 

Could the enzyme be causing this?  Is it possible that some of the enzymes are

not getting absorbed and coming out the other

end....causing irritation to the skin?

If your child does not tolerate milk, I would first suspect this

reaction was caused by the butter.

An enzyme three hours after the infraction will not be effective. Try

giving Pepcid AC or activated charcoal.

Hi Dana

I gave the enzymes right after the cookies.  The reaction happened 3 hrs after

eating cookies & enzymes.  Sorry for not explaining better.

He had the same reaction to Candex ( fighting yeast enzymes ).  Major diaper

rash!

I guess our concern is the diaper rash....would you have any idea where that

would come from?

Enzymes??  

thanks Dana

This might mean yeast leaving the body. From the cookies, might have

been overgrowth spilling out. From the Candex, die off spilling out.

Try giving biotin or other yeast control, see if that helps.
