Re: Zyme Prime sensitivity

[Guest guest]

Tali~ On the Houston Nutraceuticals site it says the ZP doesn't contain sals...

is that the one you are using? (I just noticed the Pep says no sals too, but it

contains papian ???) Anyway, what are you using the macademia nut butter for?

Have you tried cashew butter instead? Cashews are a very low sal and cashew

butter is delish.

>>>At the same time I also increased his intake

of macadamia nut butter. He is now showing a salicylate reaction with

eczema, stimming, poor sleep, and distractibility. I am trying to

figure out if this is more likely to be a result of the ingredients

in the enzymes, or the macadamia nuts, which is listed as a medium

salicylate. I hate to remove the macadamia nuts, as they are a staple

of his diet. Does anyone know if the papain/bromelain in the zyme

prime is a salicylate?

The ZP I am using does contain papain and bromelain, and Dana said

those are salicylates, so I wonder why the Houston site would say it

has no salicylates. My son is on SCD and I am using the macadamia nut

butter for his baked goods. He is not ready for cashews (that is a

later stage in the diet), but maybe I will try making pecan butter,

as I think pecans are low in salicylates. Thanks for your help!

Last I checked, the site lists the ingredients of the SCD versions,

not the original versions. The SCD Zyme Prime does not contain

papain/bromelain, the original version does.

Pecans are moderate salicylate and high amine.

Dana,

What nut would you recommend I use? It is considered too early for

cashews (because they are starchy), and he definitely needs nuts to

feel full on this diet. I don't know that my son has a problem with

amines. If he has a problem with salicylates, does that mean it is

likely he has a problem with amines? It is confusing because there

are so many different lists of foods with salicylates and they all

contradict each other. The Feingold member book lists pecans as low

salicylate. Do you know if yellow squash is a problem? I haven't seen

it listed anywhere. Thanks!

Check this page for phenol content of nuts [it is the third category]

For some kids yes, for others no. No-Fenol helps many kids with the

phenol content of nuts, but not all.

It is not listed specifically on the reference page that I use, altho

" squash " is high, so it is probably high or at least moderate.
