A question for Cindy k or anyone about possible delayed reaction to enzymes

[Guest guest]

I have conversed with you on the gf/cf message board about how

wonderful my son had been doing on the zyme and pep. Well everything

was going along great untill Wed. morning of this week. we had 14 days

of excellent progress on the enzymes and then whammo! back are the old

nasty behaviors. What i'm wondering is this...Tues. evening we carved

pumpkins and roasted the seeds. Well after my sons dinner enzymes wore

off we had a pumpkin seed feast and I didn't think anything of it

untill he woke up on wed morning with the same old behavior problems

that we had B-4 starting the enzymes. My son cant tolerate sesamie

seeds, sunflower seeds or flax oil so I asked around and came up with

a consensus that he was having a reaction to the pumpkin seeds.(even

had a small rash on his butt) My question for you is could this be a

delayed reaction to the enzymes? or do you agree that it is probably

still from the seeds. Is there ever a happy period followed by a die

off reaction on the enzymes that you have heard of?? I'm trying to

determine what upset our wonderful and steady applecart and was hoping

to get some insight. Thanks ahead of time for your help. Patti

Patti,

I do think it could be the pumpkin seeds. I found out a few weeks

after starting enzymes that they did not work on poppy seeds. My son

had a poppy seed bagel and got really hyper. The enzymes also do not

help him with peanuts.

I don't know if pumpkin seeds are highly phenolic, but if they are,

the enzymes may only help a little. My son can tolerate highly

phenolic foods a little better with enzymes, but we find it is best

to limit them.

I thought the enzymes were " wearing off " after a few weeks, but

finally realized what was really happening was I added back phenolic

foods like crazy and my son could not tolerate that amount, even with

enzymes. I would try to keep his diet as it has typically been while

you make sure he is not reacting to the enzymes, just to be safe, but

it sure sounds like the pumpkin seeds.

Let us know how he is in a few days.

In all the reports I have monitored, there is not a single instance

of regression after improvement with Peptizyde/Zyme Prime with the

exception of Dana and two other moms because of the gluten-celiac

reaction. Also, no one has reported that any type of enzymes have

helped with peanuts, with other nuts and seeds being a prime problem

as well. So it looks like the records support the pumpkin seed idea.

Please let us know how he is in a couple days.
