Guest guest Posted December 28, 2002 Report Share Posted December 28, 2002 I would recommend trying a trial of the Kirkmans (they will send you a trial amount for $3.00s so that you can see if this works). We know families using Kirkman enzymes and families using Houston's enzymes. I have heard of success with both or a lack of success with both so I think it depends on the child. We use Houstons http://www.houstonni.com and have used them for over a year. Like , we can tell when he does not get one - mainly for something not CF. For instance, we do an occasional Pizza Hut cheese pizza. With our enzymes we notice no difference in his behavior, mood or language. However, when my son got ahold of some pizza at a support group meeting... he was up the whole night laughing hysterically and jumping on his bed (not typical at all)--the peptide high effect I guess. Many do not encourage going off the diet even when taking enzymes..... we seem to be able to do so but we deviate from the diet just occasionally-not everyday and we always do the enzymes--even at school.

Guest guest Posted December 29, 2002 Report Share Posted December 29, 2002 Theresa, Does Houstons also offer trials? I guess we can do Kirkmans first and see what happens...thanks so much for your info. We right now do not deviate except lastnight when I was experimenting with some recipes. So, the idea that just maybe our son could have a fig or a saltine every now and then is wonderful news to us!! I thank you so very much!! I am going to call Kirkmans for our trials today!
