Hyper!

[Guest guest]

Hi

I understand that hyperactivity is to be expected on starting enzymes, but how

long, on average, does it last? Is loudness and a small amount of aggression

also

common?

Thanks

Margaret,

I think it's possible to see all that unpleasant stuff. Most report

no problems after two or three weeks, although it is possible. Are

you giving anything containing B vitamins? Some parents have

reported that once on enzymes, they have to reduce B vitamins because

of better absorption, especially P5P.

It is also possible your child cannot tolerate the enzymes. You can

try reducing the dose to see if going slower helps, or if you feel it

is some withdrawal effect, you can just keep at the full dose and

ride it out.

Be sure to let us know how it goes.

This is just Pep and ZP. I was giving NoFenol, too but I cut that for the

time being.

Yesterday, I reduced the Pep and ZP to one half capsule of each and she did

much better. Just a little bit of hyperactivity. No screaming, no

aggression. Wonderful compliance. I'm giving it with a non-gfcf meal or

snack, since both DH and I want to get her eating an unrestricted diet. Next

week I'll give just a little

more - maybe about 2/3 capsule.

I hope by Halloween I can start slowly adding back the NoFenol. I want to be

giving

the other two with every meal and snack before I do that, though.

Depends on the enzyme and the diet. Was it No-Fenol? You might want

to consider reducing the dose.

With No-Fenol, my kids were awake, not hyper but awake, for about 3

weeks before they adjusted.

It can take a little longer to get past the hyperactivity some

experience at first from possible opioid withdrawal effect. Since you

are seeing some positive effect, you may want to stay at the present

dose until you get past the adjustment phase. But I don't advocate

being miserable, so if the hyper is just too much to handle, you can

certainly cut back the dose to see if that helps, then gradually build

back up to a full dose.

Deanne,

Yes, it generally does. There are several reasons that someone may be

somewhat hyper when starting enzymes. Here are some explanations:

You can also drop the dose a little so it is more tolerable. Or try

epsom salts:

The real key in your message, is that you are seeing positive

improvements along with the hyperness. When you see positives along

with any negatives, this almost always is a " healing adjustment " and

the negatives go away.

If these are the ZP/Pep that contain papain/bromelain, then that can

cause hyper. Adding No-Fenol helps many kids but not all.

If your child is phenol intolerant, these two enzymes might be

addressing everything except the phenols, which would cause hyper.

Adding No-Fenol can help with that also.
