Re: Intolerance or becoming accustomed

[Guest guest]

The stool change is a nice improvement... Are there any other

improvements at all? We had a long adjustment period, but we also

saw progress that encouraged us to continue. I'm curious that you

started both ZP and Pep at the same time? If things don't pick up,

you could just continue with the ZP, maybe even at a lower dose, see

how she does on that, then add in the Pep when you know she tolerates

the ZP.

For other improvements, we see more and more spontaneous language

every day (but we also did Tomatis therapy from March to May, and we

believe it helped her enormously).

What happened with the ZP was I thought it was comparable to the

Thropps and since I had just worked up to a whole cap of Thropps

(Ultrazyme Plus), I thought I could just sub in the ZP. I guess

I'll pull the Peptizyde altogether (was using it to try some

infractions) and reduce the dose of ZP.

Thanks for your thoughts.

That's great!

Oh, yes yes, I get it. That makes sense.

Sure, you can try that, I hope it helps. When you add the Pep back

in, remember that some kids have a little longer adjustment period to

it, though if you're GFCF, it may not be so bad. Other kids are fine

right from the get-go. My son did great until we hit 3/4 cap; it

took months longer for him to be able to tolerate a full cap. But

boy did we see improvements at both those doses!! Good luck.
