Guest guest Posted July 13, 2005 Report Share Posted July 13, 2005 Hi, I started my 4 1/2 year old son on broad spectrum enzymes 10 days ago (he has no dietary restrictions at this point). Yesterday when I went to pick him and his sister up from daycare, he was taking a nap--he had been nodding off at the snack table, so they put him to bed. Today, I was called in to pick him up from summer school. The nurse said he felt a bit warm to the touch and the teachers said he just wasn't himself--seemed very tired/draggy. They also mentioned that he was asking for LOTS of water, but not necessarily peeing more than usual (although he peed a good bit before we left the school). He actually seemed pretty perky when I got to the school, and I started to take him to his afternoon camp because he said he wanted to go to there more than home, but then was quickly up and down in terms of mood/ ability to cope, so I brought him home and he's napping now. Just wondering if this fatigue/irritability/quick up and down might be an effect of the enzymes: die-off from yeast or bacteria, withrawal effects from addictive food compounds? Should I back off of his dose? Here's what I've done so far: 1/2 capsule (more or less) at major meals (Enzymedica Digest)--3 days then worked up to 1/2 cap at major meals + 1/2 at larger snacks -- days 4-7 then switched to HNI Prime Zyme chewables: 2 tablets w/major meals and one larger snack-- days 8-10, plus 2 w/breakfast this morning and 2 w/snack at school Any impressions and advice are appreciated.
