RE: Update on my 3 y.o re: impaction/constipation

[Guest guest]

No answers here.but a similar problem.

My daughter has had irregular stools (not as frequent as they should be and

very very loose - the kind that seep out of everything) since we SWITCHED

enzymes. We switched from an Enzymedica broad spectrum one (when she took

this her stools were totally normal and formed every day) to the HNI Afp Pep

and ZP b/c we thought they would be better and b/c the AFP Pep would target

GFCF issues (she is GFCF free). I have been trying to wait it out to see if

it is just part of the adjustment period for her, but am planning to go

shell out the $30 for a new bottle of the old enzyme (we are unfortunately

out of it) today to see if giving one of those will make a difference. My

suspicion has been that the AFP Pep is for some reason STOPPING her stools.

And the only ingredient my old enzyme had a lot of that ZP doesn't is a

lipase. My latest thought (and I am scrambling) is that my daughter simply

needs more of the lipase. I will let you know what happens.

Thig is I don't remember seeing anywhere or in 's book that AFP Pep is

know to cause constipation. But I really think it is in our case.

Update on my 3 y.o re: impaction/constipation

I posted earlier in the week about having to use enemas to help my

little guy.

I started him back on enzymes (ZP, Pep, and NF) and he isn't soiling

his diaper as much, but his abdomen is getting distended again.

I am wondering if it might be the enzymes. I give him all the

Houston Originals. I am thinking maybe I should try the SCD

version. Is it possible that the rice bran in the enzymes can cause

constipation/impaction?

Thanks,

Josie,

Where do you get the Enzymedica enzyme? Is is at the HFS or Vitamin

Shoppe?

I think the HNI enzymes are blocking up my son' gut too. Funny

thing is I have 2 other kids on them and they are doing great. It

just goes to show you every kid is different.

Let me know where I can get the Enzymedica enzyme.

Thanks,

It is possible. You can try the SCD version and see if that helps.

Another thing you can do is try each enzyme by itself, to determine

which one/s might be causing the problem.

Hi:

I get it at my health food store (though only the one that is very well

stocked - not all of them have it). I know you can also get it on line.

The one we had success with was Lypo. Ingredients are very much the same as

ZP - although w/fewer of some things and much MORE lipase. I'll let you

know how my " experiment " goes. You can def compare ingredients of the 2 on

the different HNI and Enzymedica websites. I am keeping my fingers crossed

that it is just a " lipase " issue for us. Will post my results in a couple

of days. Good luck!
