You said no tri enza was a disater - have you tried no fenol seperately?

We also tried tri enza and he went absolutely crazy. It was scary

What you describe sounds very much like my son was. We followed the

feingold diet - unfortunately full blown - had to cut out all fruit except

pears and all other high salicylates. This made an incredible difference

BUT then we moved onto no fenol and the hyeractivity issues stopped. We

have now introduced back all fruits and sals. Within 2 days of no fenol he

was a different child. He played for the first time ever with his toys.

We started on a tiny amount and increased daily - we did then add zyme prime

then peptizide very slowly and eventually switched to tri enza- took over 4

months. I still add extra no fenol to the tri enza as I know he has a

problem with phenols. Also do epsom salts baths.

Help oh autism gurus of the Enzymes and Autism list! :)

I have a 4 year old boy with autism - he's so hyper, I think it drives *him*

nuts (me, I'm long past crazy). He doesn't have any sort of attention span.

Seriously, there are cats with better attention spans than his. He needs new and

more stimulation to be happy. For example, if he's getting really squirrelly, I

take him to Walmart or Superstore (a big box grocery store) or Costco. At

church, he's happiest afterward when everyone is milling around talking in a

million conversations. He has energy galore, but is interested in say, the

trampoline, for less than a few minutes. I'm talking like seconds of jumping,

done. But he'll hike in the woods for 3/4 of an hour (God help me if he ever

gets lost!). TV? Forget it. Plus, he has a hatred of certain ads that borders on

hysterical (iPhone ads make him bolt for the tv to shut it off) There are other

issues, to be sure, but this is the one that is bothering all of us the most

right now. He simply *goes* non-stop. And I cannot. Simply cannot. I mean, he's

got a 15 month old brother!

Right now, he takes Organika enzymes with food (trienza was a disaster!), a

California Poppy tincture that's supposed to calm him a bit, Biocidin, a good

probiotic 45 minutes or more after the biocidin, a tiny dose of lithium (250

mcg), glycine, and 1.5 mg melatonin at night if he's still awake at 9:30.

Ideas?

Hi Alison. Thanks for your input.

I do give him no-fenol with highly phenolic foods. Maybe I should give it to him

with other foods too. He is an *extremely* picky and inconsistent eater. In the

last 24 hours, all he's eaten is Ultracare for Kids (a nutritional supplement)

and bananas. He's on the gfcf diet (extremely hardcore on this - nothing even

produced on the same line as a gluten product comes into our house), no corn,

and gets no artificial colours or flavours. High phenol foods do make him nutty,

so he gets very little of them. And yes, epsom salts regularly. I also have a

mag cream that I rub into him when he refuses baths.

I have heard other parents talk about how neurofeedback has helped their

children improve their focus and concentration. Is your child on a special diet

and has yeast been ruled out as a problem. My now 4 year old had similar issues

before we started the scd 1+ year ago. If there is no other cause you might want

to learn more about neurofeedback. Maybe some folks on this blog can tell you

about their experiences if they have tried it.

Have you looked into the Feingold diet?  If not, that could be some of the

problem.  He might be reactive to all the colors, flavors, salicylates, fenols,

etc.

Hi . Thank you. I have, but we haven't tried it completely. Though he

doesn't get artificial anything. He doesn't eat a lot of different foods, and

anything high in phenols he gets with no-fenol enzymes. Maybe it's time to go

hard on it. :(

Recommend trying Omega's along with Feingold. We have had tremendous success

with attention issues on my (now 4-yr-old) daughter. We use Nordic Natural EPAs

(4:1 ratio to DHA & over 800mg of EPAs) & put them in her OJ. Also like Nordic

Naturals Ultimate Omegas (flavor is better and you can just measure out)-- Not

the 4:1 ratio we were recommended in our original research, but it's still over

800mg EPA & about the same DHA.

My son needed MAJOR yeast fighters to be able to sit still. We still fight this

all of the time because we are chelating right now. Candizyme is the best thing

for us along with high dose biotin to kill the yeast.

Bananas are high in phenols and they make my son, who is sensitive to phenols,

" go bananas " . :o) I use No Phenol with ANYTHING that is phenolic in addition to

TriEnza, also Epsom salt baths nightly. The best neuro-calming supplement is

GABA. That helps with hyperactivity. Also, Taurine helps my son a lot, he has

trouble with sulfur based foods.

I have definitely seen that no fenol helps Charlies hyperactivity (in fact

it has totally turned it around). I give it with each meal regardless of

phenol level in food. I am convinced it is somehow assisting with

sulphation problem. I've emailed Devin Houston a couple of times about this

- it seems there have been many similar reports and some things are still

not understood about the complexity of phenols.

I would certainly give this a go unless you feel theres anthing to loose.
