Guest guest Posted February 10, 2004 Report Share Posted February 10, 2004 Sharissa, Have you tried giving your son lactose enzymes for the dairy? My son is lactose intollerant and he can have dairy when he took this lactose enzyme with the food. He still limited the amount he ate every day because it seemed to build up in his system and he got dark circles under his eyes and couldn't sleep. I was happy that he was able to eat some dairy. He is grown now and actually grew out of the lactose intollerant problem. It has been so long I forgot the name of the product. The best kind is in a liquid and some grocery stores sell it like the Beno, for beans. Don't know if this willl help. Liz D. Re: Re: GFCF bashing ::shrug:: All I can say is that every time my son gets dairy, in any form, he cries and holds his stomach for several hours. Enzymes have helped to counter the effect, but if he has that kind of a problem with dairy, I refuse to use enzymes to allow him to eat something that causes him such distress.

(I agree that the solution is to fix the gut which is why I am grateful to all the people here for their suggestions. It is so awesome to be off the diet after four years!) If the gut were not leaky, the peptides would not be getting into the blood stream and crossing the blood brain barrier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I think what people are trying to say is that he wouldn't have that response if his gut wasn't leaky. Even after being on enzymes for almost a year, my son can't eat a pretty long list of things. I don't think simply removing them is an answer -- I've got to do whatever I can to get the gut healed so that eventually he'll be able to eat anything. (At least any actual food -- don't care about the additives etc.) Nell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sounds more like a medically defined allergy and not the peptide reaction. Good luck. It is so hard to maintain that diet. I know--did it for four years.
