Guest guest Posted March 10, 2006 Report Share Posted March 10, 2006 Christy, We started enzymes about three weeks ago. We started Actos a week later. The week we started Actos, my son had two daytime accidents. We stopped the Actos, and the wetting stopped. I'm not 100% sure the wetting caused the Actos. I guess it could have been the enzymes... If so, he's getting used to the enzymes and we seem to be seeing some positives from them. Ironically, 's bedwetting (which has happened every night since we brought him home from India two years ago) has dropped considerably since we stopped Actos but upped his enzymes. He's been dry more nights than he's been wet. Sorry I'm not more help. I'll be interested to read the replies to your message. Take care, mom of Kaley 12-bio, Maya 10-India and 6.5-India (on the spectrum, RAD, ADHD). > > > > >>> Why would my child need to use the AFP peptizide formula > instead of > > > the peptizyde? > > > > Some people are too sensitive to the 'fruity' enzymes papain, > > bromelain, and actinidin.

Wetting the bed is now my only sign that son has yeast or die off. Keep going, give lots of fluids to flush him through. Kids often pee more when starting enzymes - this generally goes away after a few weeks Good luck, my son did wonderfully on HNI and stull does Mandi in Dorset UK Mum to Sam 47XYY, Autism, Heavy Metal Toxicity, Possible Seizure DIsorder & Severe Cuteness:) _Treating Autism_ (http://www.treatingautism.com/) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 11, 2006 Report Share Posted March 11, 2006 This would be wonderful is this is die off for him. His poops look and smell very normal and I've been stumped as to why I can't see the black specs, the yeast smell or white stuff that everyone talks. Re: Urine Accidents on Houston??

Yeast die off commonly causes wetting accidents. Maybe the addition of the enzymes helped with addressing the yeast overgrowth? Is the ZP the SCD version?

Guest guest Posted March 11, 2006 Report Share Posted March 11, 2006 He's getting Zyme Prime powder and AFP Peptizide. He complained 2 nights right after dinner (those were his only doses that day) that he didn't feel good. His face sort of looked like he was nauseas and I thought he was going to vomit, then he perked up and started running through the house playing with his brother and was fine. When we added the a.m. dose he seemed fine and not nausea, but then had the accidents.

Guest guest Posted March 14, 2006 Report Share Posted March 14, 2006 Increase in wetting when starting enzyme can happen occassionally. This was reported since the release of Peptizyde. Intially, HNI said this was due to enzymes breaking bonds because when a bond is broken a molecule of water is released. So if you hear this explanation, that is where it came from. HOWEVER, this is incorrect and Devin H has since admitted it. Actually, the opposite happens...a molecule of water is used up (not released) when a food bond is broken. Here is an animation of this process (termed hydrolysis). Click on the button Hydrolysis to see water used to break bonds. http://science.nhmccd.edu/biol/dehydrat/dehydrat.html So what does cause the extra wetting in some people? At the moment, don't know. Other enzyme manufacturers had some speculation on this, but at the moment, nothing conclusing was offered. The wetting might be associated with an increase in pathogen control in some cases too (virus, yeast, bacteria). What we do know from experience is that it tends to be part of the adjustment period due to changes in the body, and it does eventually go away. Most people see it go away within a week or two, although there have been a couple reports of it lasting several weeks. Give it at least three weeks to see if it levels out as part of the adjustment. My son wet at night for a number of years before enzymes so I know how aggravating it can be. In our case, the enzymes made the wetting stop. .

Guest guest Posted March 14, 2006 Report Share Posted March 14, 2006 What a great explanation. I've been sending these to his teacher and she is 'on board' to help give him reminders. So far he has stayed dry since Sat, but we have to remind him. Thanks again for all the responses on this! Re: Urine Accidents on Houston??
