That's great news.

The enzymes seem to " last " about 45 minutes for most kids, so if he

eats a smallish lunch, then a few minutes later snacks on a little

something, you're probably okay. But if he continues to nibble, you

might want to look at www.ezymestuff.com in the " mixing ideas "

section. I guess some people make " slushie " enzyme-juice drinks that

stay active for up to four hours. Or you could just disolve a Pep in

juice in one of those thermal cups with ice and have him take sips

from the cup while he's eating infractions. That should last for the

party. The point is to keep the enzymes cold and they'll last for

four hours.

Enzymes aren't really something you should work to avoid using. I

mean, with my son, he can get hyper if I use too many enzymes for too

little food, or a tummy ache if I give him too many enzymes with no

food at all, but he doesn't have any truly concerning side effects

from those situations. Especially with the Pep, taken on an empty

stomach, it can help with gut inflammation, with yeast... I guess

I'm saying you don't have to worry about giving the enzymes if he

doesn't eat anything " bad, " and in fact, they will still do good

things for the body if they don't have the gluten/casein to work on.

Have fun at the party!

Thank you, ! That's good advice! I know it's controversial,

but I mix the enzymes into GFCF melted chocolate and make them into

candies with candy molds. It's the only way I could get them into

my son with all his weird food issues. But hey, whatever works!

Sorry, I've been thinking about my earlier, speedy response to this

post, about how enzymes are something you don't need to worry about

giving. I don't mean for you to take that too lightly. So for

example, if he's never had Pep on an empty stomach, a party would not

be the time to trial that. I think a cold enzyme juice that you

could let him sip on throughout the party if he seems inclined to

snack on goodies would be the best way to go.

,

The chocolate wafer idea is great! If that is working I would suggest

you give him 1 each hour of the party simply because in that

atmosphere he could easily get into something unplaaned. That is the

nature of 'parties' to do the unusual.

Because he has shown good tolerance to Peptizyde and infractions

before, you can rely on it working similarly. Enjoying a party is a

great way to improve quality of life AND boost the immune system. So

please don't think of it being a negative or something you have

to 'get through'...you are helping his health. Laughing and having

fun can help ones health in all-natural mega-ways that supplements,

diets, and meds just can't reach.

My kids could go about an hour before they would need additional enzymes.
