Guest guest Posted April 5, 2003 Report Share Posted April 5, 2003 Hi guys, I have a 3 yr old son dx'd with PDD-NOS. He is gf/cf and a few weekends ago had a big infraction. Needless to say that week was horrible for him and the rest of us too. I started him on Kirkmans DPP-IV this week and feel sure that the problems I am seeing are related to this. The first day he was on it he was great, the next 3 days have been HORRIBLE. He has had lots of runny stools (the kind that burn) and his poor little bottom is raw. He cries constantly, is more violent and I guess i would be the same way if my bottom was like his. I have been using creams/and or powders but so far nothing has worked. Has anyone else experienced a problem like this? I have stopped giving the Enzyme. Does this problems seem like it would be caused by the DPP-IV. Any ideas as to why his body is reacting like this, and how long does this stay in the system?? Any ideas would be SO GREATLY appreciated!! My 8 yr. old daughter with Aspergers also takes them and we've seen nothing at all bad like this with her, actually only good things. Thanks for any advice.

Guest guest Posted April 6, 2003 Report Share Posted April 6, 2003 Sorry to hear your little guy is in so much pain! I would be cranky too. Does he have any yeast problems and this could be a yeast reaction or some sort? How has his behavior been off the enzymes? Does he get much soy in his diet. I am keeping in mind the recent post by Lori K too. At least stop the DPP IV for now until he stabilizes, and then you might want to start at a much lower dose. I think Desitin or something similar clears up rashes pretty quickly. . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
