Guest guest Posted February 3, 2006 Report Share Posted February 3, 2006 Libby, We have found it very necessary to maintain GFCF with enzymes. While they help a great deal, they are not enabling us to leave the diet behind. The TACA site helps with transitioning to GFCF nicely. (do NOT go cold turkey...ie: do as I say, not as I did ) _http://www.tacanow.com/gfcf_diet_10_weeks.htm_ (http://www.tacanow.com/gfcf_diet_10_weeks.htm) Good luck to you!~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 3, 2006 Report Share Posted February 3, 2006 I added enzymes to our GFCF Diet because our diet was so limited. My son is also very picky and eats about 8 things and we were even more restricted on the diet. That said, I've seen MORE improvements with the enzymes than I did with the diet. We are currently pursuing some oral motor exercises and sensory exercises to help build up his repertoire. Hope this helps a bit...

Guest guest Posted February 3, 2006 Report Share Posted February 3, 2006 My daughter can have very severe sensory issues like this when she has yeast overgrowth, and she retains fairly significant ones when she's on gluten. She needs to be gfcf on enzymes to function well. My son is fine eating gluten with enzymes, but he still has several restrictions, and gets yeast all the time. Besides the gfcf site, I'd get " Special diets for special kids " - the recipies are full of sugar, though, so I use stevia and some honey to replace that.

His diet is not good, I felt a little better when I introduced the enzymes but what I have absorbed from you ladies is diet and nutrients first. My sons diet consists of Bread, Soy sausage, eggs, Annies Mac N Cheese Fruit leather peanut butter and that's about it. A lot of it is sensory Texture is a big issue unfamiliarity is another one he gags or shudders when I eat something in front of him that he doesn't know. In the past year he has stopped eating a lot of foods, and now we are down to this. I was wanting to bite the bullet and go GFCF kind of wipe the slate clean and start over get him over and through the bread addiction, We don't do dairy, but my son does seem to live by bread alone, and I need to help him. If this is familiar to anyone I would like suggestions books or websites or personal of how to start. My concern is that with the rigidity of what he will eat and the shuddering sensory stuff, am I putting the cart before the horse? will he starve himself? Am I being ridiculous? Is GFCF necessary with Enzymes? So far I have read that it would be beneficial even with enzymes. Anyway, I am open to any suggestions Thanks so much.

My son was gfcf and he IMPROVED when I added back wheat with HNI enzymes. Try giving the enzymes for a few weeks, then determine if you still need to remove foods even with the enzymes. I had to remove artificials, rice, corn, and orange/green foods, but not wheat. Dana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
