Guest guest Posted April 24, 2006 Report Share Posted April 24, 2006 first off tina, dont feel like a fool...everyone of us (those doctors included...hell, especially doctors at times) goes through all of this studying and messageboarding and find out that we missed something that everyone else seemingly already knew...like it was unconscience knowledge or something and we missed the boat...anyways, there are no dumb questions except " Did your child just grow out of autism on their own or did you help it along? " ...anyways, enzymes. i put my son on the GFCF diet the day i found out he was autistic and had fantastic results within days...later i realized he had a yeast issue so i put him on the SCD diet while remaining GFCF legal (it is a very restrictive diet)...he went through yeast die off for a week and that proved to me he had yeast. a few months later i put him on enzymes and to my amazement he went through yeast die off again!!! there was that much casien and gluten getting through in trace amounts in his food! he did improve and his yeast got under control (we also started with probiotics) but i wouldnt say it was a miracle or anything...gfcf, b12 shots...those were miracles. anyways, i have no desire to put him on a less restrictive diet because this diet is so healthy...i dont want to ease off supps because again, they are so healthy...but what enzymes do allow me to do is occasionally let him cheat by having ice cream...or a cupcake...once every few months he gets a treat like that at a birthday party or something and i give an enzyme before he eats it and after he eats it...my son is six and we use Kirkmans Enzyme Complete with DPP-IV phil [ ] Enzymes?? Oh I feel like a fool, not knowing more about this sooner, which does anyone use if they use this stuff, and can anyone tell me a little about how it has changed their lives, please don't tell me that it's to good to be true. If enzymes can heal half as well as I've been told, they're another miracle to me, how did I misinterpret all this for 3 months now, all I caught onto was that my sons system wasn't processing well and that it needed help, which is what the whole slew of supps are for and the probiotics, yet somehow I left out something so crucial as enzymes. Don't get me wrong I've seen plenty of little miracles for my son who three months ago still had almost no engagement, and now will sit down and label things with me, whether it's a book, a toy, or whatever I can tell him so he can repeat it, but if I can get to chelation for him knowing it's safer because his body had more time to heal first, I would feel so much more at ease, plus with the possibility of him needing less supps, we'd be able to afford all the tests to keep track of things. Please anyone's reply will be so apreciated, I wanted to know if anyone uses Peptizyde or Zyme Prime. Thank you all so much for always being so helpful.
