Guest guest Posted March 25, 2003 Report Share Posted March 25, 2003 Daria, hi and welcome... Don't worry about getting a guilt trip here - not doing the diet for the reasons you gave is just a re-incarnation of the Refridgerator Mother theory. You know, if only you REALLY loved your child s/he wouldn't be like this...if only you REALLY cared about them and weren't so lazy they would be well...'good parents' do the GFCF diet. My advice is to just scrap that completely. Since your goal is to use enzymes instead of the diet, that really makes things easy. Peptizyde from www.houstonni.com is the only product effective enough or recommended enough. Enzymes work on specific things, so you have to match the right enzymes to the right target food or goal. You definitely do not have to be on any diet or doing chelation first. In fact, using enzymes often makes the need for food eliminations unnecessary (also enzymes are much easier and cheaper). You might still need to eliminate a food or two, but usually eliminating dozens of foods is no longer necessary. Chelation is a different matter, but even there many people use enzymes first to help support the body before, and while doing chelation. Here is a link with past things people saw after being on a GFCF diet and then putting casein/gluten foods back into the diet with Peptizyde. This shows that the diet is not the optimal solution for many people. http://www.enzymestuff.com/offdiet.htm My younger son had encopresis. Here is a link to the treatment I found and used. It worked for us. http://www.enzymestuff.com/rtencopresis.htm He is still prone to constipation but I found if I keep him on magnesium daily, he is fine. So it might be a magnesium deficiency as much as anything. He also has muscle twinges and shortness of breath which we found that a glass of gatorade daily helps. Gatorade has electrolytes in it. His dad is the same way. . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
