Guest guest Posted September 12, 2004 Report Share Posted September 12, 2004 I am also a bit confused about the different types of enzymes--I have started my son on Kirkman's Enzyme Complete with DPP-IV, because it seems to contain all of the enzymes that are in both Peptizyde and Zyme Prime. nat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 13, 2004 Report Share Posted September 13, 2004 > I thougt peptizide was to break down proteins. It targets gluten, casein, and soy specifically. It did help my kids with certain other proteins, but Zyme Prime also contains enzymes for proteins, so it is likely that Zyme Prime will be sufficient for the proteins your child eats. But you can give Peptizyde also, if you want. >>because my son eats mostly proteins and I give him > peptizide (2) all the time prior to proteins, maybe I am O.D.ing him on PEP. You are probably not overdosing him, but you might not need to spend the money. If the Peptizyde is working for him to digest the proteins, then you don't really need to change it.

Enzyme Complete is *relatively comparable* to Zyme Prime. You would have to give a LOT of it for it to be comparable to Peptizyde, but I suppose it could also be considered comparable to Peptizyde at high doses. Some kids don't tolerate papain/bromelain, and Kirkman Complete contains at least one of those [maybe both? I have not read the ingredients lately], so watch for that potential issue.

It sounds to me like he was eliminating a large impaction, which is not fun and causes pain, but at least it is out. No-Fenol can help with this problem for a few reasons, primarily that he was not tolerating the foods and they were causing constipation, or he has yeast, which can also cause constipation. Good luck. Dana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
