Guest guest Posted January 30, 2003 Report Share Posted January 30, 2003 Hi All, I would like to add digestive enzymes to my daughter's diet. Her keto clinic isn't really familiar with using these while on the diet. So... 1) Have you had support from your dietian and have they helped factor these in. 2) I would like to be able to tell them the names of the hospitals/facilities where there are people who are using these. I know they will accept the idea better if I say: " I know someone who is seen out of --blank-- is giving their child these enzymes. 3)I would like some suggestions for brands and sources. Abby is very delayed and is still eating baby food consistency meals. She does not use her hands and therefore is completely spoon fed. Her is latest meal plans allow her only a max of 5grams of carb (strained squash, carrots or green beans) per meal (600cal/day @ 4:1). She HATES the fat and protein we give her now (finely ground chicken or beef mixed with mayo-we are now on a dairy free diet), but loves the carbs. We use the carbs to get her to swallow (i.e. gag down) the nasty fat/protein mix. We can give so few carbs this is getting harder and harder to do. By added the digestive enzymes we are hoping to help her digest protein better and therefore increase her serum pre-albumin numbers. This would allow for an increase in her carbs and decrease the protein while remaining on the 4:1 ratio. Thank for your help mom to Abby, 15 months.
