There is a sugar free, gfcf syrup that you can use from Kirkmans Lab. It comes

in several different flavors. I use the rasberry flavored to mix for my son.

1/2 teaspoon is all I use. He takes it pretty well.

I know this is controversial, but someone on the GFCF site suggested

I join this group to ask about what enzymes are the best tasting and

not to get into a argument about they work or not. We are going on

vacation in a couple of weeks and just to be safe I thought I would

order my GFCF son enzymes. We have tried the Houston ones and they

were just horrible tasting last year and I couldn't get my son to

take them in anything undetected. Any help would be appreciated!

This is a bit of a worry for me. I have just ordered nf, zp and afp from

Houston's. My son won't take anything that tastes bad.

I wonder if chocolate masks the taste?

Debbie I don;t think they taste bad at all, regular Pep is a bit smelly, but

really my son takes other supps that are truely YUK, enzymes are cool and

there are plenty ways you can mix them anyways, don't worry

Thanks Mandi. Would you mind sharing what improvements/changes you have

experienced since starting enzymes.

Debbie

OOoh, that would be along list This is a cut and paste from a letter I

wrote the Ped in Jan 2002 - so 6 months on Pep and Zyme at this stage

Among the fantastic gains we have seen since starting the enzymes in June

2001:

Ø Has learnt to swim (with armbands)

Ø Potty trained

Ø Big leap in receptive language, following commands, puts rubbish in bin,

flushes the loo!

Ø 'hanging out' with his brothers (aged 6 & 7)

Ø Initiating play with dad and brothers now (just mum before)

Ø Annual IEP needed 6 month review - 27 of 38 targets achieved

Ø Big increase in 'word-like' sounds, gone are the gutteral 'meng' and

mung' with tongue low in the mouth, now 'mum-mey' and even once, a perfectly

clear 'mummy' whilst looking straight into my eyes. (At 12 months he said,

mama, dada and bay-bee). He is also experimenting with blowing.

Ø He is now emotional - crying when told 'no', stamping his feet in temper

- great 'normal' terrible two type behaviours!

Ø Affection spontaneous, natural and more 'normal'

Ø Teachers (Portfield) reporting " 100% productivity "

Improvemnts have continued with the addition of No Fenol when it came out -

helping control gut bugs and phenol issues I never really understood before.

Gosh it was weird going back to that mail - he has come much further since

then and this list reminds me how much further. We started chelating in March

2002 and I'm sure the enzymes helped with some gut healing and definitely the

No Fenol and Pep (on empty stomach) play a major part in gut big control.

Sam biggest issue is that he still does not have spoken words

but..............he communicates very well with PECS gesture, body language,

facial expression, he is social within the family unit and completely cute to

boot!

It's the original Peptizyde that has that unique aroma and taste. I

am able to get my son to take it mixed in a small amount of Wyler's

drink mix (similar to Kool-Aid, but colorless). He also uses a straw

to help with the taste issue. The AFP Peptizyde should be a dandy

fine alternative for your child because it does not contain papain,

which has the strong flavor. No-Fenol and Zyme Prime shouldn't be

much of a problem as far as taste and odor either.

ITs that darn Peptizide lol PU!! My daughter, however takes it no

problem now...it was hard at first though because her olfactory

senses are acute. A straw was a big help-she sucks it right down the

back of her throat with juice. You could try mixing in something

stronger like peanut butter or chocolate. I think the AFP does not

have the smell/taste so you could try that also. I do not think any

other enyzmes compare to Houston's so my advice would be to try

really hard to get your son to tolerate those. Good luck-hope your

vacation is great!

For really gross tasting sups, we take a little dry jello mix, add the

sup and a little water and no problem.

I've heard the original pep was bad tasting. I got tired of waiting to see if

ph would finish his enzymes with each meal, so I empty capsules in small cup

of water, we too use the AFP, NF and ZP and ph drinks them through a straw.

I know he's had them, and ph has never complained of the taste. I think it

tastes like dry choc cake mix.

My son is suspicious of everything but he has no problem with the AFP

Peptizyde, No Fenol and EnzymeAid. He took the Zyme Prime also but

we had to discontinue it because he had a reaction to it every time I

tried it. I tasted them myself and to me they are virtually

tasteless. He will eat them sprinkled on his food or mixed in V-8

juice before the meal.

Kyson loves chocolate milk (Quick) drink. Will it hurt to mix them in that?

He drinks it warm. For school I am going to try putting them in melted

chocolate.
