Yes, you can use the enzymes w/o being GFCF...we are not GFCF and have had great

success w/ Houstons, specifically Trienza. Call them, they will send you

samples. www.houstonni.com

good luck.

I have a 4 year old that has a diet high in dairy foods like yogurt and soft

cheese and milk. He is PPD-NOS and has a high oral aversion so he will only eat

specific foods made a specific way and because of this his diet is limited to

the above as well as some homemade soups. I would like to try starting him on

enzymes as I heard great stories from people who have autistic children but I

don't know which ones and how much and if they will be okay to use with the diet

he has. Can anyone help. I don't want to put him on a GFCF diet because that

will eliminate most of what he eats so my BIG question is can I use the enzymes

regardless of if he is on the GFCF diet?ThanksKathy

So you have to call to get a free sample? I hate calling on the phone, I am on

the spectrum too and I would much rather correspond with e-mail, is that

possible?

HI

I just looked on their site...and there is a spot where you can ask Dr. Houston

questions via email...give it a try...they are all very nice there. Good luck,

let me know if there is anything that I can do to help.

Dana, how did you go about this? Which particular type of enzyme did

you do to do this and was there a time period in which you kept your

child on the enzyme before going off of the diet.

My son has been GFCFSFRiceFCornFOatsFEFTomatoeF and a few others for

the past 9months and I just can't take it anymore!!!! There's just

too many.

I used HNI Peptizyde and AFP Peptizyde, both worked here.

I waited for the 3 weeks, because my son did have adjustment symptoms.

Then I added back wheat with noticeable improvements. I did have to

be sure that there was no corn syrup in the bread etc, because my son

still did not tolerate corn, even with enzymes. But straight wheat

was wonderful.

Hi Kathy,

I would first like to recommend the website enzymestuff.com. You will

find a ton of very helpful information there. There's also a great

book written by DeFelice entitled " Enzymes and Autism and other

Neurological Conditions " . It's a very informative and practical book

that almost everyone on this group has read! She recommends

starting " low and slow " . A low dose enzyme is good to start with and

then work your way up to a more potent enzyme. She recommends

starting with Lacto which should work great for him because he eats a

lot of dairy foods. But then you can work him up to DigestGold.

DigestGold is the number one selling digestive enzyme. It's very

potent and has worked great for so many parents. If you would samples

and information on both products just let me know, I'll send them

out! Please feel free to ask me any questions.
