Re: So very confused...why are the enzymes making him worse??!!!

The red cheeks and behavior here were helped by the addition of

houstons's NO-Fenol. My son is very sensitive to foods with phenols.

Subject: So very confused...why are the enzymes making him worse??!!!

I'm on my 4th enzyme brand and all of them start out great for the 1st few weeks

and then he gets worse. His BM's are formed and the right color but his

behavior is HORRIBLE!!!! Is behavior is as if he's back eating the " bad " food.

The one we are on right now is Houston enzymes AFP. We've also tried Kirkman's.

I've taken care of and ruled out yeast & food intolerance issues. I also start

out slow and slowly increase dosing according to food intake. I only know of

the two brands, Houston & Kirkman's... .if anyone can tell me another brand they

like for their child I would love to try.

He will chew obsessively on blankets, his behavior is horrid, his cheeks are

red. And this all happens AFTER he has been on the enzymes for at least 2-3

weeks. As I said, I've ruled out yeast, zinc, & food intolerance.

My son is considered " NT " . I'm sure I've screwed him up...when I was pregnant

not only did take the prescribed pre-natal vitamin but I also took a

b6,b12,folic acid vitamin and I'm sure I've overdosed him. I'm desperate in

trying to figure out my sons gut issues. If anyone knows of someone that can

get me in contact with someone that is very knowledgeable with the bvitamins I'd

really appreciate it.

Merry Christmas!

From a desperate family!

I wanted to let you both know that we had a difficult adjustment to

enzymes years ago when starting, and had to go very " low and slow "

for several months. Enzymes have been extremely helpful for my son

overall, but it wasn't totally easy or without problems during the

period of leading up to tolerating them well. Now it is...

The red cheeks is a common sign of phenol issues, which are not

technically intolerances but improper conversion. So try adding

No-Fenol enzyme, see if that helps

At my house, chewing on things meant intolerance or phenol issues, or

yeast overgrowth. For some kids, it means zinc deficiency.

Myself, I sometimes bang my head against the wall, snap at everybody, chew

my fingernails, break things, neglect my work, obsessively play solitaire on

the computer, avoid social situations, lie in bed all day.

This is partly because sometimes the enzymes give me a migraine. Especially

if I take a break and then start again. Yes my cheeks are red, I cry

sometimes, drive my husband nuts. My poor hound gives me some looks too.

I hope your kiddle is not having migraines. Is he vocal, so you can ask him

if he hurts? Does he hold his head to one side, rub his eyes, or neck, bang

his head, cover one eye? Avoid noise, light, smells?

Magnesium helps, epsom salts soaks, potassium, I try everything, but only

time makes it better, really. And staying on the enzymes non-stop.

Hope this helps the little guy and you too.
