How do you tell if you child has a yeast problem. What are some of

the signs?

Well, for one thing the yeast tests are iffy at best and not a

definite indicator one way or the other. So keep that in mind.

You are right in starting one enzyme type at a time and going slow

particularly if she is sooooo sensitive.

A few people had to really go slow...like giving a few sprinkles at a

time for nearly 5-6 weeks (I don't know if I would have been that

persistant). But they had wonderful endings. Since she is so

sensitive maybe allow a little more time for adjustment and go slower

than the usual recommendation. Proteases and cellulases tend to have

the most dramatic affect on yeast (so something like Peptizyde and

especially the No-Fenol). Of course, a broad-spectrum product (like

Thropps or Zyme Prime) may affect yeast/bacteria by diminishing their

food supply.

If there is serious gut injury or a substantial yeast problem, know

that some gut healing will be going on, and this can take a little

time. Proteases in particular help with tissue healing.

The only other thing I can think of is to do epsom salts or vitamin C

or something to assist with detox/die-off as you go. That might make

the entire process easier on the whole family. All in all, taking

enzymes should help at least some with the allergy reactions and food

sensitivities.

Hope it goes smoothly!

When I first started enzymes, I gave only Peptizyde. My son walked

around rubbing his arms and saying " owwie " . I thought he did not

tolerate it, so I removed it, waited a few days, then started Zyme

Prime. Same reaction.

I lowered the dose and continued on, thinking *maybe* it was a die

off sort of reaction. Yep. After about 3 days, he stopped rubbing

his arms. I added back Peptizyde, he rubbed his arms again for maybe

a week. No problems after that.
