Listmates, Finally got a response from the Lyprinol folks on their

natural anti-inflammatory. L

PS My initial questions are at the bottom of the post.

Lyprinol Questions

Hello,

We live in the US and our 3.5 year old son has Colitis and Lymphoid

Nodule Hyperplasia as observed during colonoscopy. The Doctor prescribed

Sulfasalazine to reduce his inflammation, but our son did NOT tolerate

that. He is now trying Colazal but it is questionable as to whether he

will tolerate that either. Our son is also autistic and that population

does not do well on Salycilates which Sulfasalazine and Colazal both

have, but he needs an anti-inflammatory desparately.

I heard about your natural product, Lyprinol and it seems to have good

potential for our case. I wonder if it could be used instead of or in

conjunction with one of the prescription anti-inflammatory drugs that

our Gastro doctor is prescribing?

I have a few questions I hope you can answer:

Do you offer the Lyprinol in a bottle? Our son does not swallow pills.

If not, could we puncture the capsule and put it in a spoon or would it

lose potency going through his stomach?

I noticed that you have put the sweetener Sorbitol in it. Our son is on

a strict diet with NO sugar. Do you offer it without the Sorbitol?

Do you screen the Lyprinol for metals like Mercury to make sure there is

none in there? Test certificates for this?

Our son takes 2 teaspoons of cod liver oil per day. Would taking

Lyprinol give him too many EFAs?

What are the published side effect?

Sorry for all the questions, but several parents of autistic children

are considering this as a potential option since most autistic kids have

gastro inflammation. This could be a great alternative to the

prescription medicine which has so many side effects.
