Re: Off gfcf diet with enzymes

[Guest guest]

Janelle,

My son was GFCF for about four years. He has completely off the diet since

November, 2003. He is doing well. He is still a picky eater, though.

Robin,

We have been gfcf for 4 months. He only ate carbs/dairy prediet for

it is toast chips and gfcf cookies. We started enzymes about 2

months ago and he mood is greatly improved. I just hope sometime he

will eat some meat and veggies and less carbs/sugars to get a handle

on yeast.

There are many people who NEVER went gfcf and instead chose enzymes

from day #1. It would be good to hear from them, too.

Janelle,

We were GFCFSF for a little over a year. My son has been off the diet

since April. He's doing very well. No regression, in fact he potty

trained after starting the enzymes. (and we had been working on

that for almost a year)

Candex is great for yeast, Houstons No-fenol between meals helps, too.

I still have to really limit sugar, starches, artificials to keep yeast

under control.

I just started L-glutamine to help heal his gut, per s suggestion.

Hi, you asked for experience of using enzymes without having done

teh GFCF diet. My daughter Emma (6yo, pdd-nos) started enzymes (afp

pept. and zyme prime) mid-May. We never did the GFCF diet, but I

always tried to limit her gluten intake (particularly in the

evenings, as I noted a correlation between eating pasta for dinner

and late-night insomnias - she'd wake up around 3-4 am for an hour

or two).

So far, we've noticed a language explosion both in vocabulary and

pronounciation (but not yet a great improvement in sentence

structure). There are other things going on at the same time (added

a one-on-one aid for the end of kindergarten to get ready for 1st

grade), so its hard to say what is really helping - probably both!

We have seen no changes in eye contact (sometimes its great,

sometimes its very hard for her), or in stims (which for Emma

consists mainly of putting things in her mouth and chewing -

although never swallowing).

My son needed certain food removals, even with HNI enzymes, but he was

able to eat gluten/casein again.

No-Fenol

For my #3, he would do this when he was eating a food or supplement he

did not tolerate, or when he had a yeast problem.

For other kids, adding zinc removes this problem.
