Re: Many questions...Please help /

Hi I hope the enzymes really work out. It seems that a restrictive

diet would be very difficult in your situation, if not impossible.

I think the enzymes are less complicated overall. The thing that was

most frustrating to the GFCF diet is that there was also some

unknown or something was said to be 'wrong' with the food. So no

matter how hard I tried (or no matter how much money we spent) it

was never good enough and you always felt like a failure. Espeically

since the diet demands 100% compliance. Now, of course, we have

alternatives, know we don't really have to worry about every single

molecule, can ignore the poison/antedote mantra, and other things. I

think parents have enough to deal with as it is.

The link to enzyme site I am working on (bit by bit) is

www.enzymestuff.com. Pretty much all the information in the Files

secton is at the enzyme site, so whichever is the easier to get to

is great.

Since phenols may be a issues this page may help:

I like epsom salts because they do so much and they are CHEAP!!!

LOL.

>>> My questions are these.....

> 1. Has anyone used just enzymes and seen great results without

ever trying GFCFSF?

yes, many people do now and get good results. Some get better

results that doing both GFCF and enzymes. You may find you still

need to remove a food or ingedient, but enzymes are pretty efficient.

>>> 2. How many enzymes would I need to order to keep up with both

boys and how long will a bottle last?

I would plan on 1 Peptizyde and 1 Zyme Prime per kid per meal. If

they are grazers put the enzymes in a cool drink (or add ice) and

let them take a drink of the enzyme beverage before each snacking

time. This is actually what I do personally although my sons just

swallow the capsules at meal time.

>>> 3. Are the enzymes in pill ( capsule ) form...and if so...How do

you get your little ones to take them?

Yes, in capsules that open. You can take out the amount you want

and 'click' the capsule back together saving the rest for another

time. Here are some mixing ideas:

>>>> 4. Could someone please tell me exactly what I should be

ordering? Houston? And do I need to get No -Fenol too?

Just start with Peptizyde (probably AFP version) and Zyme Prime. See

how it goes. Maybe look at the epsom salts (at local grocer). Then

later consider No-Fenol only if you think you need it. Not too many

things at once.

>>> Can I expect to see illness as a result of die off?

Maybe, but starting slow will really minimize this. Here is a link

to possible adjustment effects. You may see one or more, or none.

Most relate to the body healing and just processing more food:

>>>> 6. For kids with Phenol problems should I then be looking at

the AFP Pep instead of just peptizyde?

Sounds like a good idea.

>>>> I am trying to learn as fast as I can...LOL....But sometimes

when I think I have it figured out..I see something new

I know. And then you start thinking, " Huh. Maybe I should be doing

that too?! " Just pick a couple things and focus on that, then add

one more, then one more. Usually you will start to realize that

something that one person raves about is not necessary for your

situation simply because each person has a different set of things

to deal with. I had to deal with bacteria overgrowth but not yeast.

A lot of people have yeast. Some people are deeply into detox

protocols because they need to be. That is not something our family

needs to do though. However, I spend time looking at proper bowel

elimination and sensory issues, whereas others do not. So don't

assume you need to do something because someone else is. That can

relieve a lot of pressure right there.

Hi ,

Thanks so much!

I think we now have the gist of it all!

It certainly is hard in our situation....but this way ( with the enzymes) we may

find some improvements and who know? Maybe in 6 months we will have a credit

card or another car!!!!

Trying to look at the positive here! LOL

Again thanks sooo much...I have bookmarked all the pages you sent my way...and I

appreciate all the help....all the support and all the suggestions!

Hugs,
