Re: Side- Effects of Peptizide

[Guest guest]

Yes but I wouldn't call it a side effect - the Pep is merely doing its job.

Withdrawal reactions are quite common in the first few weeks, we had hyper too

as the pep was also hleping to control the yeast and the hyper was as a result

of die off.

These issueds usually resolve inside 3-4 weeks, the hyper took a little

longer with us but the yeast problem was severe. Did you start with a full

capsule?

If the feelings too much for him or for you then reduce the dose a bit and

build up again to say half a cap, then go for more doses and when he's settled

out go for higher doses with each meal or food.

Good luck, keep posting if you have concerns and post with good news too

Yes, common enough with die-off (which Peptizyde can faciliate). Here

is a link to common adjustment effects and what to do. Most resolve

by the third week (with yeast, it might be a little longer depending

on how severe the yeast is):

You might try doing 1/2 capsule with each meal, and then gradually go

up to 1 capsule at each meal. This would give more consistent enzyme

action on the yeast/food over the course of the day even if the

initial dose is less. With a full capsule at one meal you might be

getting more abrupt changes (enzymes whack yeast...yeast recovers at

subsequent meals, then enzymes whack yeast again....). With every

growth spurt and abrupt die-off round, by-products are released so

your child's system is more up and down as it tries to stabilize.

Do you recommend 1/2 capsule because he's four? Would you still start a 13 yo

with a 1/2 capsule or would one be better? I just got

my first bottles of Peptizyde and HN-Zyme Prime. I'm going to start with

Peptizyde first.

No, 1/2 because the person is new to enzymes, whether young or old.

It depends more on the state of the gut than age. If 1/2 seems

too 'strong' then you can go to 1/8 capsule - just sprinkle some

enzymes out, it doesn't have to be exactly 1/8 of a capsule. When you

start the Zyme Prime, do it the same way....with 1/2 capsule first

for a few days, and then up to 1 full capsule.

If dropping to 1/2 capsule does not help, consider changing to AFP

Peptizyde. Also, work up to giving it with all meals. It might not

be the enzyme, but the effect of the foods given at the other meals.
