Weight gain using pep and zyme?

[Guest guest]

My son is almost 9 and weighs 85 pounds. He's active and likes to

play sports, but he LOVES to eat. He's gfcf and that doesn't slow

him down a bit. I have to stop him from eating or he'd be too

heavy. My question, I'm planning on starting him on pep and zyme

when it gets closer to the end of the school year. I'm hearing

people say their kids are gaining weight. Has this been a problem

for anyone? Has anyone's kids gained too much weight. Nick is a

little too heavy as it is. Will I be able to continue to keep the

weight off of him by continuing to monitor his food? Thanks so much.

my son is also 9 will be 10 in little over a month and weighs 80 lbs he is 4 ft

10 in......prior to gf/cf he ate EVERYTHING in sight afterwards he still ate

tons!!! now with the enzymes his eating is normal.... he eats tons of food in

cycles and regular amounts at all other times... we now are totally off of the

diet and have had no problems what so ever....we still have tiny regression

before a progression.... which still has me baffled but it must be like an

infant way of learning... anyway...what's the cost of 2 little bottles of

something that may help as opposed to continuing to ask yourself maybe, could

it, will it, is it possible for it to help.... i say go for it and if it doesn't

help then you are no worse off and you can mark it off your list. neva

Theresa,

I wouldn't worry about him gaining weight right off. Of course, keep

an eye on it.

In general, enzymes tend to regulate weight. Depending on what you

need, taking enzymes can result in weight gain or loss. Many obese

people have very low levels of lipase in their body. Without

sufficient lipase, the fats from food cannot be properly broken down

and used. It may be stored instead. Taking the enzymes lipase breaks

down these fats. Also, when digestion is bad, the body craves more

energy and nutrients. When food remains insufficiently broken down

and digested, the nutrients within the food are not being released

and delivered to the cells to satisfy the hunger. So, some people

continue to eat more attempting to satisfy that hunger. Supplying the

proper digestive enzymes will lead to better nutrient release and

absorption, the body is functioning better leading to weight loss.

Since your son is on a restrictive diet, he may be craving some

nutrients he is not getting (who knows what?!). My older son was an

eating/chewing machine before enzymes. He gnawed everything and was

always badgering for food. About a week on enzymes, he quit. He still

likes to eat, but he doesn't intensely have to eat a great deal. It

is not compulsive-obsessive now. Sometimes he asks for snackes, and I

will say, " that's all for now " and he will be okay with that and go

and play.

If the problem is being underweight, supplying enzymes can lead to

better nutrient absorption, proper health, and thus, weight gain.

Enzymes tend to have the net effect of regulating weight into an

appropriate range for the individual. A 1932 study (Sansum) showed

results on weight from a number of cases at the Potter Metabolic

Clinic. It showed that weight regulation is a long-standing effect of

taking enzymes. Of 197 individuals who were underweight, 91% improved

by gaining weight with enzymes. Of 29 individuals who were

overweight, 93% improved by loosing weight. Of the 54 individuals who

started at an appropriate normal weight, 100% (all of them) remained

at a constant weight.

Pretty cool, huh?!

Thanks so much for answering my post. I printed it out to show my

husband. I'm really excited about starting Nick on these enzymes

next month. I don't want to do it now because I don't want a

regression right at the end of the school year. Thanks again.
