Probably, altho you might want to consider adding enzymes and/or

removing/rotating foods. For example, which HNI enzymes do you use?

You might want to add another one, depending on which ones you use.

Or your child might still not tolerate certain foods, even with

enzymes, so if you rotate foods and keep a journal, you can figure out

what that might be.

Or after a few weeks things might improve on their own.

I don't know if you should reschedule or cancel the doctor visit. I

think might have other ideas for you, because it is her son who

apparently has the same problem as yours.

Glad he is improving!

A good probiotic would probably be a benefit to helping heal the gut, in

addition to the enzymes. I wouldn't say this is the extent of help the enzymes

will give you. The healing process is rather long, depending upon the amount of

damage, and what other issues were allowed to settle in and amplify the injury (

fungal, viral, bacterial, etc.)

diarhea/HNI/ZINC DanaHelp

HI Dana,

You and I believe Lynn have helped me out before.

You may remember my story, 3 1/2 yr ASD son, diarhea forever tried

everything under the sun, including keto. Suggestions were to try

increasing zinc and using HNI.

Well we have done this for the past two weeks. Increased total zinc

to 40mgs (40lb kid) and switched from kirkman enzymes to HNI AFP and

Zyme Prime. I have seen major improvements but still not all the

way. Went from 3X (or more) BMs very foul to 1 X per day very soft

(occasionally but rarely formed) but not foul at all, with minimal

undigested food. (we also had the miracle of becoming urine potty

trained in 1 day).

My question is: can I expect to see improvements in BMs over the

next weeks/months while the gut contuinues to heal? I am asking

because we are coming up on the time we are supposed to be working

with Dr. Krigsman. If I can expect additional improvement with out

invasive intervention, I will postponne the visit. What do you

think? I am I correct in hoping for more improvement or is this

usually as good as it gets? Not complaining, we have come along way

but we are still not there yet. Appreciate any advice.

Thanks,Fran

Since Dana mentioned me I guess I need to address your post too. If

the doctor you mention has a good reputation, I would keep the

appointment. I have not gone to a DAN doctor for lack of insurance

and money. I am slowly uncovering what I can do to help my son but

feel I may be slowed down by doing it myself. Some doctors may be

more of a hinderance than a help so it is important to know his

reputation. My son's diahrea has greatly improved since giving him

zinc but still is not 100%. I still don't have the next piece of the

puzzle. Houston enzymes (Peptizyde & Zyme) have helped my son

greatly developmentally but he is still not talking (saying only

about 2 words per day). I am seeing new improvements all the time

though. In the last month he has actually made 2 friends at school

and has been heard saying " my turn " or " swing me " to one of them. He

has been taking enzymes consistently since December. At first in

addition to the GFCFSF diet but now in addition to GF diet only.

Regardless, I have not chelated him and I am always wondering how he

would be if I did. I feel like we are working on taking care of

symptoms but without chelation, not really getting down to the root

of the problem.

PLEASE don't feel obligated! But you helped this person previously,

so I thought your opinion would be very helpful.
