Guest guest Posted March 6, 2003 Report Share Posted March 6, 2003 , I would highly recommend De Felice book called enzymes for autism and other neurological problems see - www.enzymestuff.com This has info on diet and enzymes, if your son does not eat CFGF diet would be very hard, and its hard enough to start with. My son is off that diet now with way more improvemnts than we had on it - we use HNI enzymes www.houstonni.com. Some people still need to remove the odd problem food but that vetas removing whole food groups any day Good luck MAndi in UK > Hi I am happy to be on board!

I'm in Poole in Dorset South Coast. There are lots of things you can try for yeast OTC in UK, GrapeFRUIT Seed Extract, Olice Leaf Extract, Oil of Oregano, Probiotics, Enzymes ...................OH so many to choose from LOL We saw die off from just removing sugar, actually that was worst die off we ever had, but its a good place to start.................. are you able to > get in home programs for your child? >>>Sam is in ASD specific school, but our local LEA does fund home programmes, most have to fight, some are not successful I am wondering if > I can skip the diet? someday get him to eat and just > do the enzymes along with food not gfcf? > >>>>For sure, if I was doing it all again thats what I would do. I have another efirned in UK whose son was very poor eater. She gave him a few sprinkles of Zyme and he started cleanign out her cupboards!!!! IT doesn't work that well or as fast for everybody but the chances are very good ps I notice you say you had better results > without the diet, > seems to be extra extra hyper on the diet, >>>>Sam was hyper on the diet, I spend forever trying to bake something edible, there are NO CFGF diet books focused on reducing sugar. I think yeast was bigger issue for him, the high carbs and sugar were making it worse, phenol issue were masked but the yeast behaviours. what did you start with first? >>>>Enzyme wise we had used Enzymaid for infractions, and copious doses of Enzymeaid and Spectrazyme for 5 day planned period off diet for a holiday. I wasn;t scared of enzymes, when HNI released I order 6 bottle of each and pray they work. They did, and some. We remain very low/no sugar and we still avoid Aspartame and MSG.

You picked a great place to start! Mandi in Uk Mum to Sam 14.1.97, Dx 47XYY, Autism, Heavy Metal Toxicity Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 7, 2003 Report Share Posted March 7, 2003 Hi , My almost 8 year old had runny bm's for 5 years, over the past month they have finally disappeared. The diet didn't help, we saw a GI doctor and she found no problems, what helped was ending the diet and using Houston's Enzymes. So you may actually help 2 problems by trying the enzymes. Also, my younger son did not like to eat and now he inhales a variety of foods. Just my .02. B. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still, the enzyme discussion is not as thorough as 's and enzymes are a great therapy to start with because they impact so much else. So I'd start with 's book, then move on to CSB.

Guest guest Posted March 8, 2003 Report Share Posted March 8, 2003 Hi > Hi I needed that info, what kind of enzymes to > get him to eat, how much? My boys take 1 Peptizyde and 1 hn-zyme prime with each meal and 1 peptizyde with any snack containing gluten or casein. where did you start? I started with peptizyde since my boys were already gf/cf/sf he is painfully skinny? The younger one used to be, but not anymore. The older one was overweight. I see his behaviors like acting out when on the diet but I see language improvement? I saw tantruming reduced more on the enzymes than on the diet. And their language has increased since being on the enzymes, they rarely need their PECS books anymore. They are both happier now than they were on the diet. My older son even tries to play jokes on people now. you think I can just do the enzymes instead? I think it is worth trying. The diet worked for us, but enzymes have worked far better. We get ours at www.houstonni.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She also was painfully skinny, falling off the chart once she hit 9 yrs old. her height continued to climb-slowly. we do the enzymes instead of the diet now, although we still do not drink milk very much.... except on occasion when the kids want " junk celeral-honey comb lol) and milk as a treat. many people have gone off the GFCF diet when on peptizyde (houstons enzyme) and find they get even more improvements then they did on the GFCF diet. minna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
