?? about Lacto vs Peptizyde

[Guest guest]

We are just starting out and I am not sure which one to use....Lacro

or Peptizyde.

My son does have a big issue w/ milk. His Entrolab results were 47 and

they should be under 10. (But his serum blood test can back negative

for a milk allergy.)

My question is....I have removed milk from his diet (about 3 weeks

ago.) Lacto is for dairy lactose digestion, correct.

Should I still use Lacto jsut becasue it is a good broad spectrum +

dairy or just use Peptizyde??

We are on nothing else at this time...we are just starting.No other

enzymes, suppliments...nothing. Over the last few weeks we have been

eliminating Gluten & Casien, but have had few 100% GFCF days.

Thanks!!

Sounds like you are doing great. Slowly getting those out of his diet is

definitely easier on his system. Which enzyme you chose is largely your

decision. Many of us use different brands. The ones we use are Houston's. I

use the AFP Peptizyde (since it seemed so many kids didn't tolerate the regular

Peptizyde...though not always the case). Zyme Prime and No Phenol. It does

require three different ones but those enzymes seem to cover all foods. Given

with each meal has really helped my son.

Best of luck!!

You have got the right idea. Lacto and Peptizyde are very different

enzyme blends. Peptizyde is only for proteases. Casein is a protein

in dairy. Peptizyde works well in this protein. However, dairy also

contains sugars/carbs, fats, and other compounds. Peptizyde does not

work on these. Lacto contains extra enzymes for the all these

components, including some enzymes for the casein. It isn't just for

lactose although that is one component it works on. It is designed to

work on the complete dairy food. It works well as a broad-spectrum

product for multiple other foods as well...just with extra enzymes

for dairy.

However, again, the Lacto may not be sufficient to replace a GFCF

diet alone...unless you take more capsules. So it can be much more

efficient and effective to add the Peptizyde to the Lacto. This gives

you a lot more proteases to help with the proteins...and can help

with gut healing too. So both together make a very nice all round

enzyme program that really targets the complete dairy food.

If you are just starting out, do you know if your child is sensitive

to phenols, colorings, or certain fruits? If you aren't sure, or your

child is sensitive, then look for enzymes without papain and

bromelain. Lacto does not contain these, and the AFP version of

Peptizyde does not have these.

For starting one product at a time, start the Lacto gradually working

up to one full capsule per meal. After about a week, add in the AFP

Peptizyde gradually until you get to one full capsule. That is a good

base starting program that minimizes problems in the beginning. After

you are using enzymes a few weeks (or one bottle's worth of both

products), there is usually enough gut healing that you can

experiment with different products or proceed to add in other things.

I've used both these products with good success. Here is the Low-n-

Slow Method which explains how this stategy came about.
