Guest guest Posted October 3, 2004 Report Share Posted October 3, 2004 Peptizyde starts doing its stuff in the stomach (which is what many of these kids need), Pancreatin does it fiurther on the process, I beleive they are usually enteric coated to get through the stomach, they can;t be crushed or emptied like a pep foe ease of use for those not swallowing caps, you need to use more pancreatin, so is it really cheaper and my sons stool qulaity was damned near 'pefect' after 10 days of Pep which 3 years of everything else had not touched Try them and you'll see the difference Mandi in UK I would like to know why Peptizyde is a more effective enzyme for autists than animal enzymes like Pancreatine, which are much cheaper and much more powerfull *in improving stool quality* than Peptizyde.

Guest guest Posted October 4, 2004 Report Share Posted October 4, 2004 Which other enzymes had you tried first? We have had no success so far with enzymes. I have a cow's milk protein intolerance and saw no difference, and there was no difference in my son's stool consistency either. My daughter has an egg intolerance (which I believe is presenting as mucus in her stools), and there was no change in that either. As a matter of fact, they have complained of stomachache far more on the enzymes. nat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enzymes did not help my son with all foods. You might try removing the foods you KNOW are problems, see if you notice any difference. If your child has a yeast issue, that can interfere with what you notice regarding enzymes. >>My daughter has an egg intolerance (which I believe is > presenting as mucus in her stools), and there was no change in that > either. Mucus in the bm was yeast for my kids. Dana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 4, 2004 Report Share Posted October 4, 2004 Honestly I am totally confused. I am going to take a break with the enzymes for a week or so, and restart with the Houston enzymes. We have been GF/CF for several months (son has positive transglutaminase and endomysial IgA, daughter with presumed gluten sensitivity and definite egg intolerance, which we just discovered, and is in all of her GF/CF food substitutes), with occasional transgressions with the CF part. After I started the enzymes they both complained of stomachaches, and one day my son had pure diarrhea (no odor, though). Then my son had a stool that looked like he had gotten " glutened " , and my daughter continued to have mucus strands in her bms. I couldn't tell if it was from the enzymes, from the dairy that we reintroduced, from their guts still going through the healing process--which can take up to two years from going gluten free--or if it could be yeast die-off/bacteria die-off, or do they have parasites that have not been diagnosed through the stool tests we have done? It's difficult to tell because one of my children (my daughter) had intermittently complained of stomachaches before I even started the enzymes. Of course I also realize at some point I started a new probiotic without regard to trying one new thing at a time. Aaaack!! At this point I am seriously considering seeking out a psychic's help. And sadly, I know that I cannot seek out a GI's help, because I know they are going to suggest scoping, which I prefer not to do, since the outcome would probably just show inflammation in their intestines or colon, with the suggestion of anti-inflammatory drugs. I greatly appreciate all of your help. Without this message board, I would never have even considered yeast die-off as a possibility. nat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
