Re: problems with overeating and sneaking food

I don't know if this will help, but it's something that i was just told and we

will be checking it out with our son. He also eats alot. I think I can feed my

horse less than what my son eats. He wants to eat constantly when he is home. He

is 13,about 5' 3 and weighs120lbs. A friend who has the same problem with her

son said they had him tested and his body was lacking an enzyme or something

that told his body when it was full. We are going to ask the Geneticist about it

when we go in a couple months. If anyone has any ideas, or your child has been

tested for something like this. Please let us know

TIA.

problems with overeating and sneaking food

Our 12 year old daughter is really struggling with self-control now that we have

her on digestive enzymes. The enzymes are helping her with all the foods she

used to have to be off of. I don't see any of the physical effects those foods

used to bring her now that she takes the enzymes. BUT we are having issues with

her eating too much. She is home schooled and with me all day. I limit her to

one good serving of each item per meal without seconds but for a special

occasion or depending on its calorie content. She is sneaking foods out of the

pantry and such and she just seems engrossed with food, meals and eating. She is

quickest to ask about her fruit for snack time and is using it as an activity.

She has recently begun her period, but she has also gained about 40 lbs. since

she got on enzymes.

Any thoughts or ideas?

Thanks,

Zelime
