Guest guest Posted May 8, 2004 Report Share Posted May 8, 2004 I use Kirkman enzymes in ADDITION to the gfcf diet for my son. Neither is enough alone to be effective enough. cs Houston Enzymes Hi, I know that several of you use the Houston Enzymes and I am wondering if this is in addition to the GFCF diet or instead of the diet.

Guest guest Posted May 8, 2004 Report Share Posted May 8, 2004 We also use Houston Enzymes and diet combinations: gfcfsfys etc.... Neither is enough alone for us--my son has high measles levels--even now, almost 5 years after his only MMR.

Guest guest Posted May 8, 2004 Report Share Posted May 8, 2004 When you say you're getting no where with the diet, does that mean that you're not seeing any improvement in any of the areas of autistic behavior? E-mail me privately and we can walk through a checklist of things to look for. Also, there is another diet that has anecdotal evidence of helping some of the children who aren't helped by the gfcf diet. It's called the scd (strict carbohydrate diet). You can find out more information at www.breakingthevisciouscycle.com There is also a support group for folks who are following that diet. Karyn Seroussi did a parent comparision " study " using the GFCF and the SCD. The results may be posted on www.autismndi.com Re: Houston Enzymes Thank you as I was getting no where with just the diet.

Guest guest Posted May 8, 2004 Report Share Posted May 8, 2004 I have to say that I too see the greatest benefit when I added the enzymes along with the gfcf diet. > Hi, > I know that several of you use the Houston Enzymes and I am wondering if this is in addition to the GFCF diet or instead of the diet. > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 We do the chewables and my very, very picky PDD-NOS takes them fine. I've seen much smaller capsules to teach your child to swallow than the Houston capsules. I would say a med in size is Houston. My 5 year old swallows anything with no problems. I would say pick up something like a vitamin C capsule, I got mind at Kirkman's, small, and see if you can get capsules down. That way something any one can use just in case they don't go down! I agree, so frustrating. On the CFGF diet. We have a more extreme diet with food allergies. There are GFCF chicken nuggets, Ians, spaghetti with safe pasta, hamburgers and FF (I make home made FF) , I make safe ice cream, chocolate chip cookies, tacos, barbeques, pretty good basic every day foods. Of course there are soups to make, baked chicken and baked potatoes, roast with carrots and potatoes in the crock pot, lots of good stuff. Join POFAKS, search, great source with food allergies and great menu ideas and parents to help there with food items. Yell if questions. I'm off to start my roast! Tammy Houston Enzymes We are going to start our son on enzymes (AFP Peptizyde and No Fenol) 1.) Does anyone know how big the capsules are? (We have never tried swallowing capsules with our 5yr old, but if they are small enough, I think he could do it). 2.) Do most of you do capsules or powder? 3.) If powder, how do you dispense...sprinkling on food or mixed with a liquid? 4.) What is the difference in the powders with and or without cellulose? These items are expensive, so I want to make sure to get my monies worth with the right ones. We have SO many intolerence and phenol issues in the house. We are down to only 4 foods he will eat on the GFCF diet and it is scaring me. We are regressing back to almost 3 years ago..so this is another avenue I want to pursue to pull him out. Thank you all so very much! Marie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 2, 2008 Report Share Posted February 2, 2008 We use BULK POWDER and CHEWABLES. The former is cheaper and easily spread on cereal etc, while the chewable are quite convenient for school and trips and my son loves them.

Guest guest Posted November 25, 2008 Report Share Posted November 25, 2008 > I've never used the enzymes before, but I thought I would try them. He is > constantly hungry and craves carbs. When my son was always hungry, it meant he was eating something not tolerated, and/or he had a yeast overgrowth issue. Since your son is craving carbs, first consider yeast. http://www.danasview.net/yeast.htm I have used HNI enzymes, they worked very well for my son. There is a new TriEnza enzyme, which is a combination of the three enzymes I used for my son several years ago. Dana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone had such experiences to share? My son left gfcf with HNI enzymes. I had to use mito cocktail for milk fat, but the casein portion was addressed with AFP Peptizyde. When I added back wheat with AFP Peptizyde, my son actually noticeably improved. Dana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 25, 2009 Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 yes, my son was able to eat a diet of pizza hut, subway, taco bell and burger king while taking massive amounts of houstons digestive enzymes with every meal. 8 afp peptizyde, 2 zyme prime and one no phenol from what I remember.

Guest guest Posted February 25, 2009 Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 Another list I'm on has had a few accounts of this happening. For us, Houston Enzymes greatly increased what our son can eat, but wheat is still a problem--probably because of the high gluten content. He has been able to resume eating dairy, for which we're very grateful, and rye which has much less gluten than wheat. Hope this helps.

Guest guest Posted February 26, 2009 Report Share Posted February 26, 2009 > > also, which enzymes to give. I noted they have a few types. I used HNI enzymes before the TriEnza was available. TriEnza is equivalent to 1 capsule of AFP Peptizyde and Zyme Prime, and 1/2 capsule of No-Fenol. If I had used TriEnza, I would have had to add more No-Fenol.
