Guest guest Posted October 24, 2004 Report Share Posted October 24, 2004 If you start the fish oil too high, it can cause hyper. His body is used to the amount it has- add too much too fast, and his body does not know what to do with it -GA Does Enzymes = Hyper? Hi all, We just started our 2yr old son on fish oils (6days ago) and enzymes (2days ago)... is there any chance that either of these would cause hyperactivity, or is it just coincedence? Thanks!

The enzymes can cause hyperactivity. It might be 'positive' hyperactivity or 'negative' hyperactivity. Positive hyperness is when the child is basically happy but has a lot of energy. He or she runs around, is ready to play, play, play, but not destructive. Enzymes can improve health and so now the kid has tons of energy now that he or she feels better. Negative hyperness is when the child is whining, fussy, aggressive, being destructive and generally has a bad temperament. This can be die-off, gut cleaning, detox, or not tolerating something they are taking (either the enzymes or another supplement that the child wasn't absorbing so you didn't know it wasn't tolerated, but now the enzymes are helping the gut to absorb it and you see advserse reactions). Sometimes the person really feels much better with enzymes, but all the sensory input is different. The person needs time to adjust to the new sensory sensations. What is your son doing when you feel he is being hyper? Besides the hyperness, what else is he doing differently? . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 25, 2004 Report Share Posted October 25, 2004 I'm happy to say that it's definately been the " positive " hyperactivity. He's a happy kid in general, but just seems to have more energy, is doing more running around than usual, and just plain happy & giggling. At this point, it hasn't interfered with his sleeping, which has always been good - thank God! I haven't really noticed anything else in particular that he's been doing differently. He's being more verbal, but I noticed that was happening just before we started him on the enzymes... but maybe it's moving it along? Also, he's not a huge eater, so I've only been giving him 1 capsule per meal for now. Another thing I was curious about it that how the enzymes are working... should he be taking them even if he is already on the GFCF diet? Or are they just for infractions only? I know I should've asked my dr. this, but all these questions are suddenly occuring to me. Today we start the GI Flora as well... so, I'm curious to see how that all turns out. ~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
