Hi Elena,

 

Unfortunately, I am not conversant with the different enzymes. Maybe Dana or

someone else with more experience could help?

 

Sorry.

My daughter who is 3.7 years of age has ASD and celiac. We have seen benefits

from SCD  (she put on 1.5 kilos in one month since starting SCD, before that she

was thin as a rake)and we are now thinking of starting on enzymes again. She has

lots of inflammation, is on Pentasa which helps but I am looking into which

specific enzymes we should try for inflammation. Could you please suggesgt some

spefic ones as I am somewhat confused by the multitude of enzymes on the market

- the one we are toying with is Basic Digest from Enzymedica as it is low in

protease and hopefully won't irritate her gut. Any other suggestions?

Thank you

Elena
