Hello everyone, my daughter Alana was diagnosed with autism about

1month ago. I looked into the GFCF diet and am thinking it wont be

right for our family, many reasons. Alana also has turner syndrome

which makes things a bit more difficult. I ordered peptizype from

houston and I am waiting to start until after the holidays, fearing

she may get the yeast die off symptoms etc. I found a dan dr in our

city and am going to call on monday to make an appt. I would like her

tested for yeast/mercury etc. any tips on starting the pepetizyde? it

has some direction but Id like from your experience. She isnt on the

diet, I have gave her a few gfcf foods to try and 99% of them she has

tried she puked out, she does love fruit though so I am giving her

more of that and less of other things, she does like the gorilla

munch cereal, I tried some yeast free GFCF bread for grilled cheese

and she puked it out, I am going to try the yeast kind to see if that

makes a difference. What other supplements are your children on? I

was looking into probiotics but houston says they have a capsule that

cannot be put in food/drink etc so that is out of the question, oh

yeah alana will be 3 in march. Is there probiotic powder or something

I can try to hide in food or drink that anyone takes? can u let me

know where? thanks I was thinking of just yogurt she likes that, but

not everyday lol. I seen also that a combo of peptizyde and zyme

prime usually works well together, I was gonna get both but she said

to try this for the trial period and then add in the zyme peim, any

tips on that? Thanks in advance for all of your help!

Digestive enzymes are good; just jump in. You don't have to worry about

giving too much or anything like that. They are used by the body to also rid

toxins and fight pathogens. Just pick a brand that sounds good to you, and try

them. You'll like them. My kids only got great results, miracles in fact.

I have heard of some not working because they were too gentle, and

occasionally some might make one's stools too loose, and of course some claim

allergies to them. At my house, upon starting a new digestive enzyme, we

occasionally got symptoms the first day or two concerning someone may have been

tired or

hyper or something, but then all kinds of wonderful things happened. Don't

worry about taking only ones for fat when eating fats or ones for carbs only

when eating carbs. Just give a multi-enzyme at least twice a day. All extra

enzymes will be happily used by the body and then dissipate. The only bad

things I noticed is that they don't work if the diet is very bad. You still

need to have a good diet. I do diet and enzymes. I know its difficult to

think about the diet, but we all got used to it with terrific results. I give

them on empty stomachs and everything. I never had a problem; its been a year

and half now. The only problems I have had is when I forget to give them.

We currently use Multi-Enzyme Formula from _www.kirkmanlabs.com_

(http://www.kirkmanlabs.com) , but _www.houstonni.com_

(http://www.houstonni.com) has

chewables. I have used other brands as well, and they worked also.
