Re: Really Need some advise from those that are doing it already!!

[Guest guest]

I know that for many, the Houston Enzymes help with gluten issues as well as

casein...for some, they can even go off the diet with these enzymes.

Really Need some advise from those that are doing it

already!!

Our son had the test done from Enterolab that showed he had a gluten

sensitivity. He also had the celiac test which came up negative.

I emailed Enterolab about giving an enzyme for gluten and introducing

it back into his diet ( he has been GFCF for 1 year )

they said it would help but that he should be gluten free for the rest

of his life.

if he is ONLY gluten sensitive would not an enzyme for gluten help??

Please if any one out there had the same test and went ahead and gave

gluten products with enzymes and had no effects ( bad) let me know.

I guess the reply that I got from Enterolab " gluten free for the rest

of his life " has me very concerned that I will hurt him when I do

give him gluten with enzymes.

Are most of our children just gluten sensitive?

From what I understand, have read and researched...yes, our kids are prone to

these sensitivities....many here have been able to give gluten and casein foods

with the Houston enzymes with much success. I know that DeFelice writes

about it in her books.

the purpose of the enzymes is to " catch any gluten " that is hidden. a gf diet

has to be followed. healing can happen but it takes time and the ability to

digest protein to heal the villi. can he have some in the future is to be seen ,

but if it is too soon it's quite a setback. the genes don't change if it is

genetic. if it's an insult from too high carbohydrate a diet a rotation diet

can be entertained at some point in the future and tha's where the right enzyme

product will benefit. the right enzyme product should have all the enzymes and

substrate to heal the mucous membranes and I haven't seen it adequately

addressed on some of these enzyme sites. hth, linda rn enzyme therapist

My son has an actual Gluten/Wheat food allergy, and even though it is

not very severe I had the same concerns. My son did not test

positive for Celiac, howeverright now he also has the Gluten

sensitivity. We have been Gluten Free for 3 months and I had his

blood tested again and already the sensitivity has decreased

dramatically.

I was advised that I need to heal my sons gut issues..ie..no more

permeability before re-introducing foods with trace amounts of Gluten

which is why we use Enzymes as well as probiotics to heal his

stomach. I hope this is helpful.

We have been gluten free for 1 year now. I feel that he is ready for

introduction of foods that were once off limits. I tried goat cheese

first with enzymes and NO REACTIONS! He actually has become more

vocal and trying to talk...even though what he is trying to say is

like....babbling! BUT it is a start because he NEVER said anything

before. The only thing I have done different is give him back cheese.

This makes me wonder...if I could give him *some* gluten. His gut

is well on the way to healing because he has had formed bowel

movements for awhile now, more eye contact, less stimming AND

SLEEPING THROUGH the night!!!!

Can you tell the last one makes me very happy!! lol

anyways I appreciate all the responses and I have just recieved

's book on enzymes and reading it through and through.

thanks again everyone

I am very happy for you with your child's advances!

I don't want to bust your bubble, but I had been gluten free for almost two

years when I had my positive test from Entero Lab. So I still had antibodies

after that long.

I am not sure I will ever be brave enough to try a gluten challenge,

although I do think (dream) about it now that I have the enzymes. It just

hurts so bad when I get gluten. I turn into a zombie.

I did try a dairy challenge with the enzymes, and I felt good immediately

after eating/drinking dairy, but after about three or four " tries " in a row,

(in a matter of two or three days) I got symptoms again. Nothing you would

be able to see, and if I were non-verbal, you wouldn't know I had any

trouble. Unless you count snoring loudly, and having sinus trouble.

So I would say, if you do try this, be very observant, and maybe just give

these foods as a treat occasionally with long periods of time in between,

especially if your child can't express how s/he feels, or is too young to

realize anything is 'off'.

Just my thoughts. I would never try to tell anyone what to do, I only know

myself.

You guys have been so much help to me!

Thanks, and

Warmest Regards,

Robin Little

This is my plan. We have been gfcfsf for 3 1/2 years and I plan to start

enzymes soon, stay gfcfsf for about 6 months on enzymes, then see if we can do

occasional infractions without major regression on the enzymes. We will

probably never drink cow milk again, but it would be nice to go to a party and

eat small amounts of food that is questionable without having to worry as long

as we have the enzymes.
