Guest guest Posted June 2, 2009 Report Share Posted June 2, 2009 I have a daughter of 3.5 years of age on the spectrum and I have been experimenting with enzymes for the past few weeks. My daughter has protein malabsorption problems so I have been trying a variety of protease enzymes, including AFP Peptizyde and DPP-IV Forte and Enzyme Complete/DPP-IV with Isogest from Kirkman's when I give her protein meals. The change in my daughter when I gave her these enzymes was immediate and significant - happier, more focused and cognitively much better. The problem is that she is stimming up a storm - grinding her teeth, twirling objects while running up and down and burping. Even though I am giving her a small amount, I feel that the proteases are too harsh for her. When I give her Zyme Prime, these side effects are not as bad. My questions are; 1. Could you please recommend another 'general broad spectrum' enzyme which would be suitable for very young children which I can give to my daughter with non-protein meals? Is Kid's Digest from Enzymedica suitable? Any other recommendations? 2. Also, could you please recommend a protease enzyme which might be suitable for my daughter and which maybe does not have so many side-effects.? I consider enzymes to be one of the best interventions we have done and would like help in making sure I am choosing the right ones for my child. Thank you for your time. ___________________________________________________________ ×ñçóéìïðïéåßôå ; ÂáñåèÞêáôå ôá åíï÷ëçôéêÜ ìçíýìáôá (spam); Ôï äéáèÝôåé ôçí êáëýôåñç äõíáôÞ ðñïóôáóßá êáôÜ ôùí åíï÷ëçôéêþí ìçíõìÜôùí http://login./config/mail?.intl=gr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 2, 2009 Report Share Posted June 2, 2009 Hi This is my first time posting to this group and would really appreciate some help. I have a daughter of 3.5 years of age on the spectrum and I have been experimenting with enzymes for the past few weeks. My daughter has severe gut dysbiosis and protein malabsorption problems so I have been trying a variety of protease enzymes, including AFP Peptizyde and DPP-IV Forte and Enzyme Complete/DPP-IV with Isogest from Kirkman's when I give her protein meals. The change in my daughter when I gave her these enzymes was immediate and significant - happier, more focused and cognitively much better. The problem is that she is stimming up a storm - grinding her teeth, twirling objects while running up and down and burping. Because she cannot swallow capsules, I sprinkle the enzyme on her food but it is obviously irritating her and causing her to gag. Even though I am giving her a small amount, I feel that the proteases are too harsh for her. When I give her Zyme Prime, these side effects are not as bad. My questions are; 1. Could you please recommend another 'general broad spectrum' enzyme which would be suitable for very young children which I can give to my daughter with non-protein meals? Is Kid's Digest from Enzymedica suitable? Any other recommendations? 2. Also, could you please recommend a protease enzyme which might be suitable for my daughter and which maybe does not have so many side-effects.? I would ideally want to sprinkle it on her food. I consider enzymes to be one of the best interventions we have done and would like help in making sure I am choosing the right ones for my child. Thank you for your time. ×ñçóéìïðïéåßôå ÂáñåèÞêáôå ôá åíï÷ëçôéêÜ ìçíý ìáôá (spam); Ôï äéáèÝôåé ôçí êáëýôåñç äõíáôÞ ðñïóôáóßá êáôÜ ôùí åíï÷ëçôéêþí ìçíõìÜôùí http://login./config/mail?.intl=gr ___________________________________________________________ ×ñçóéìïðïéåßôå ; ÂáñåèÞêáôå ôá åíï÷ëçôéêÜ ìçíýìáôá (spam); Ôï äéáèÝôåé ôçí êáëýôåñç äõíáôÞ ðñïóôáóßá êáôÜ ôùí åíï÷ëçôéêþí ìçíõìÜôùí http://login./config/mail?.intl=gr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
