Guest guest Posted December 30, 2003 Report Share Posted December 30, 2003 My kids get their enzymes at school by the nurse. I had to have a doctor's statement saying they needed them - Dr. Block did that for me! I don't have the school guidelines, but when they enter jr. high, I believe all I have to do is tell them that I want them to have them and in high school too. It's only in elementary that I'm required to get a dr's statement. I'm in the Arlington school district. Blessings Connie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blessings Connie I'm really interested in the idea of enzymes for my daughter, but knew we couldn't have them provided at school. Getting anything administered at school depends on the district and the nurse involved. I couldn't even get a prescription med given in Cy-Fair ISD, not even when the doctor had written a note directly to the nurse to go along with it. My daughter was 1 year younger than the youngest age listed in the formulary books, and the nurse really researched to see if she could help us, but she absolutely wouldn't go outside the bounds of known, safe, reported studies. She said it just didn't matter what the doctor said, it was her professional conscience she had to answer to, and the district policy as well. I respected her decision, and that time figured out a way to work around it. I also know, as a former teacher, that I would have been fired with prejudice if I were giving any substance to a child in my class - even at the parents request - as another writer reported. Please be careful to never share the identity of that teacher with anyone unless you are willing to possibly ruin her career. That's the kind of offense for which a teacher could have her certificate removed. In my research, I read that the enzymes just wouldn't do their job properly unless they were given about 30 minutes before any food intake. It seems as though some of you are having your children take them WITH lunch, and I'd really like to know if you feel that gets as good an effect as when you give them before meals at home.
