Hello Crystal,

Enzymes are best started slowly. I was told to start the Peptizyde at

1/4 capsule at dinner for 4 days, Then add in 1/4 capsule at

breakfast for 4 days. Continue to add them to each meal and

substantial snack. Then up to 1/2 cap for 4 days increasing a 1/4 cap

every 4 days till we reach a full cap with every meal and substantial

snack. If you see some hyperactivity or aggressive behavior then back

down till this passes. It could be yeast die off. My personal

experience was to go slowly giving each dose increase at least a

week. Also definately don't miss a dose with snack. We always know

when we don't have our enzymes after a snack. Bad reactions. As far

as Zyme Prime is concerned. This is where we notice the biggest

improvements. We added Zyme Prime and " the Happy Child " effect really

took Hold. Another major improvement was for myself. My cronic sinus

congestion just disappeared! I have been dealing with this condition

for most of my adult life. Then about a week after starting Zyme

Prime I woke up with a clear head. I have been enjoying this side

effect ever since.

You can get more information on enzymes at this website -

www.enzymestuff.com

As far as probiotics are concerned. We use Flora Bears. You can find

these in the refridgerated Probiotic section of your Health food

store. These are chewable fruit flavored tablets. My children have no

problem taking these.

Hope this helps,

Crystal, we use the Houston enzymes but just buy the powder and

measure it out (rather than opening the capsules). We use AFP

Peptizide and Zyme Prime. We have used Nature's Way Primadophlius for

Children and now use Primal Defense as a probiotic, both are powders

that we mix in juice. FYI, some people recommend alternating a few

different probios so the body does not get used to just one (we are

going to begin that soon).

hi dana,

thanks for your reply! i will have a look at the enzymes and see what they

contain and will order some of the houston to see if she does better. we are

currently of enzymes, probiotics and supps for our stool test monday and her

eczema around her mouth is still there so i am thinking it might just be to

sals/phenols? or a sign that her gut has yeast (again!)? it will be

interesting to see if her mouth gets worse when we go back on everything next

week!

>>so far we have not been able to reintroduce rice or potato

At my house, my son tolerated potato with HNI Zyme Prime enzyme. He

did not tolerate rice until the end of ALA chelation.

> 1st question - i am wondering if someone has a link to info on

stools? i rememeber after reading the enzyme book i went onto karen

deflices website and reading some deatiled info on interpreting stools

colour and consistency but i cant seem to find it now? did i imagine

it???

http://www.enzymestuff.com/rtstools.htm

>>these things improved and for the most part disappeared on scd and

with the use of enzymes but lately we have had alot more of these sore

red lips and some red rashy bottom (no bloating or behaiour). i have

used very few enzymes the last two days and her lips seem better so im

feeling a little confused?

She might not tolerate specific ingredients of the enzymes. Do they

contain papain or bromelain? Those are commonly not tolerated.

>>im just wondering if anybody else has had this sort of experience

where they helped initially and then they seemed to have a negative

affect? i am open to ideas on what else could cause these lips?

Red, cracked, dry lips can be deficiency of folic acid and/or B2.

> 3rd question - it seems like most people use houstons on this

group... i use alot of kirkmans products and live in australia so it

just seems easier to do the one order. alot of people here in

australia seem to use the kirkmans ones but im just wondering if

houstons are a better product or is there another reason people seem

to favour them?

Check the label. I think Kirkman contains papain/bromelain. You

might find HNI works better for your child.
