I got my enzymes, now what?

[Guest guest]

I need a little encouragement to get going w/ these! I was thinking of starting

w/ ZP since that's what seems to be recommended, but I kind of want to try the

AFP Pep first. Do I start by using the chocolate wafers? I'd prefer he didn't

eat a chocolate treat several times a day. Maybe just do the wafers a couple

times and put them in his drink the other times?

Also, how do you measure those capsules? Is it just guessing? Does the powder

spill all over when you pull the capsules apart?

These are silly questions, I know, I just need some hand holding I think!

Hi - we just started enzymes a week ago with our 10 year old

ADHD son to see if it might help. I posted a similar question and

if you go to message 67607 you can read one response I got.

We started with the Zyme Prime first because it sounded like

there were fewer side effects with the Peptizyde if you do Zyme

Prime first or at least at the same time - although I'm just going

by what I read.

This first week we just did 1/2 capsule at each meal and stirred it

in a small spoonful of yogurt - worked great. At school he just

uses the capsules (I sent some only 1/2 full). Two days ago we

added a full capsule at supper and probably tomorrow will go to

a full capsule twice a day. I " m not sure if I'll go to a full at

breakfast or not - just because it doesn't seem to be a very big

meal...

Next weekend we will very slowly start adding the peptizyde. I

think I am maybe overly cautious because he has had such bad

reactions to any of the meds we have tried.

hope this helps and good luck. Sue

PS - I forgot to mention that I was quite surprised when I opened

the first capsule - I kind of had to squish the capsule to get the

powder out and then at the end - I have actually been using a

toothpick to get the enzyme powder out of the very tips. I have

just been guessing as to what half was...it didn't sound from

anything that I read that it had to be exact....

If we keep going with this - I have thought I might just order the

powder itself for at home and then the capsules for at school -

easier that way since he eats school lunch ...

like I said before - this is all new to me too - but I have found

some great answers here...Sue

You can try the AFP first, just start out slowly as recommended in

the dosing sheet. You don't have to start with ZP first. Start with

what is most likely to address the issues you are concerned with.

I don't like to give my child a lot of chocolate either, and I

recently heard a pediatric gastroenterologist mention that some

children cannot tolerate chocolate. You could experiment with

putting the enzymes in chocolate sometimes, or drinks, a bit of

frosting, no-bake cookies, peanutbutter, jam, etc.

I sometimes give my son half a capsule by slowly twisting it open and

letting what I think is half the contents spill out into his drink

mix. Then I screw the capsule back together.
