Guest guest Posted March 3, 2004 Report Share Posted March 3, 2004 Can anyone tell me how they can tell if enzymes are working for them. We've been on a few and can't really tell the difference in behaviors or stool. I'm wondering if the changes some people are experiencing from enzymes is dramatic and clearly noticable? Thank You. S.Park Re: BIOSET enzymes >>>the BIOSET brand. Has anyone else used them? How different are they from the Houston's? I looked these up and they look like reasonably good plant-based enzymes. They have a good variety of the usual enzymes for most foods. The main thing is that they don't have quite the potency of the Houston or Thropps brand per capsule. I checked the label and it did give 1 dose as 1 capsule. So you might need to take 2 capsules per meal to equal 1 capsule of the Houston Zyme Prime or Thropps Ultra-zyme. Other than that you would need to just try a bottle of each brand and see which you like best. Now the Peptizyde and No-Fenol from Houstons are quite different. Peptizyde works on proteins but has a special blend that targets casein and gluten proteins. Most other brands do not. If casein and gluten are a particular need, then I don't think you could substitute for the Peptizyde....especially if you want to use enzymes instead of a GFCF diet. If you just want some enzymes to use with a strict GFCF diet, then it wouldn't really matter. No-Fenol is really unique. It targets yeast and fibrous foods. This seems to be most helpful for those with colon problems (such as irritable bowel and similar colon disorders, or bacteria overgrowth). My husband and younger son have IBS and love No-Fenol. My older son and I do not have IBS or notable colon problems. We didn't see any effect from No-Fenol at all. So if you have a need for this special blend, you might really benefit. If not, you most likely won't miss it. . ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 3, 2004 Report Share Posted March 3, 2004 have you tried the houstonni sprinkled on food? you should notice a difference in stools. its clearly noticable, the stools should become much better formed and darker over several weeks but i found scd necessary as well. you probably need to decribe the stools and your child in more detail.

For my kids, at first it was nice but did taper off. I discovered there were still foods they were eating that they did not tolerate, even with enzymes. For my kids, it was artificials, rice, and luteins. Only chelation eliminated that problem. Dana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
