withdrawl ??

[Guest guest]

hi there- we have been going it slow. We got to ZP at every meal

then started adding peptizide afp at 1/2 for one- now up to 1/2 for

all meals (and most snacks.) has had some regression (after

adding PEP)- lethargic (which I suppose wouldn't be all bad if he

would respond.) also he took odd toys yesterday and started lining

them up. I had read in the enzymes for autism book that some kids

do better when you do feed them the offending foods. We had been

gfcf for 18 mo and I thought- what the heck- I'll add some gluten so

I gave him 4 small pretzels. Not sure if this made it worse or

same....but not better. We have a couple of games that he is

usually willing to play (123-go race) and he said " no play. " we had

a group of asd kids together at the park and he LOVES hide and seek

but had no interest. If it was the pretzels, not the enzyme then

how long to return--or should I just bag the enzymes and see what

happens? Dh has never really thought this diet stuff was " working "

but since there is a regression there is obviously SOMETHING

happening. just not sure what....is this typical? Also- WHY? Dh

asked... " if the enzymes turn the peptides into amino acids then why

the break in period? " I didn't have a good answer even for myself.

Thanks
