Re: I'm allergic to my son's enzymes - help! Devin

[Guest guest]

I apologize in advance that this is not a resolution to your problem,

but I was wondering if you could explain what was the allergic

reaction your son had to the papain?

, the only difference is that the SCD versions have cellulose and a small

amount (1

mg/1/4 tsp) of MCT oil, which is derived from coconut.

My son is allegic to pineapple which actually I believe is in the

bromelain. He gets diarrhea and instant diaper rash to the point of

bleeding (pouring blood). I did not know he was allergic for the

years he was taking the original enzymes. I never knew the enzymes

were not allowing his diarrhea to stop. It was not until trying the

new version and at the same time discovering the pineapple allergy

that I put it together. As for papain I am assuming he reacts to

that to because right now he cannot tolerate any fruit whatsoever

(again diarrhea but not as bad as pineapple).

I have no problem eating coconut so it must be the cellulose. Thanks

for the response.

I made the wafers last night using a mask, washed my hands thoroughly

then went straight to bed closing the door to the bedroom. Within

about 20 minutes I started to feel terrible again. A couple hours

after going to bed I woke up with the painful breathing again.

Obviously a mask is not enough but then maybe it could be that I got

it on my clothes and I stupidly didn't think to change.
