Re: first infraction?

[Guest guest]

Hi, I can share some secondhand experience with you. A friend of

mine has a 6 1/2 year old, dx PDD-NOS, who has been GFCF since he

was 19 months old. He is highly sensative to taboo foods (accidental

infraction used to result in barely delayed vomiting, then diarrhea

and " behavioral mayhem " as she called it, for about four days. He is

still gfcf, but in the last year, he began Peptizyde (1 cap for each

of the three major meals) with good results. Now, he eats nongfcf

foods once a month for special occasions (birthday parties, etc) and

takes 3 caps worth beforehand. So far, four months' worth of no

issues. Very cautious, but her son was SEVERELY affected, and I

understand her concern! This is a protocol we would consider once we

have the language thing under control. HTH!

seems like it always is - he's happy, his eye contact is great - and

the words are still coming. Does anyone know how long an infraction

would take? What about some signs that I would see? I wasn't going

to even try an infraction this early (he's only been on Houston

enzymes for 7 weeks, but GFCF 8 mos) but, as soon as he saw the

pizza, he kept saying it. Is this how I should go about planned

infractions - giving him little pieces at a time - and then wait a

few days before trying again? And, should he get a full cap of each

enzyme even w/ a snack infraction?

This is how I would do it, at least at first.

If you want to be conservative, yes. However, for a small snack, 1/2

capsule is probably sufficient for most kids.
