Many kids have a lot of intolerances. My son tolerated nothing, but

with HNI enzymes I was able to feed him most foods.

Depends on why your child does not tolerate them. For my son, enzymes

did not help with rice, corn, or anything orange or green. Fat

digestion required mito cocktail and amino acids.

Hi Jeanne,

I am not familiar with the Alletess scoring specifically, but with the scores

you report if your child has been gfcf for 2 years I would go through what she

has been eating in the interim, as I have to wonder if there's hidden oats or

milk somewhere (although I can't explain the non-reaction to cheese in that

case). When we got our first allergy/intolerance test results back, our doctor

told us that, at least in her experience, if a child who has been cf (we hadn't

taken gluten out of our daughter's diet at the time) for however long still has

high scores on milk and its relatives, it either means that the parents are not

being honest with the doctor or the child is getting milk or similar things the

parents don't know about (sneaking, school infractions, swapping snacks, etc.).

We were very pleased to see that her scores were essentially flat against the

" non-reactive " or whatever they called it on that test range sidewall. (Good

thing, too, as on the way into the office

the day we got the results back, our daughter gleefully informed the nurse that

she had recently had her birthday party at Chuck E. Cheese's. The nurse turned

to me and asked " What does a child on a cf diet have at Chuck E. Cheese's? " I

replied " pizza with no cheese, unbuttered crust, cut with a clean cutter. " )

You're right not to " trust " the no-reactions to other things she hasn't had in

however long, as, as our doctor explained it to us, after some period of time of

not ingesting them, the body no longer recognizes the proteins of what it had

been sensitive to. Hence, the " no reaction " scores. If the foods are

re-introduced, the sensitivity often returns. The no-reaction doesn't mean " not

allergic/sensitive. " It just means " no recent exposure. "

Hope this helps.

I just got results back for my 9-yo (ADD) and 6-yo (PDD). Yikes! They

came back with class 3 reactions to about 20 foods each, including

rice, beans, chicken, soy, peanut, walnuts, etc., plus some 2's and 1's.

The funny thing is 6-yo dd who's been GFCF for 2 years showed no

reaction to gluten, barley, or rye, and only a 1 to wheat. But she

showed a level 3 to oats (which she also has not eaten for that long).

She showed a class 3 to milk, but no reaction to cheese or yogurt. I'm

thinking I should not trust the negatives to things they haven't been

eating for a long time, though I might try the yogurt (with enzymes) to

help soften the blow of removing some of these other things.

Question 1: is this as bad as it seems, or is this a usual result among

our kids?

Question 2: Do the HNI enzymes (I use the trio) help with nuts like

cashews/almonds, or peanuts, or peas and beans? I'm trying to figure

out which things to eliminate first and I want to take out stuff that

the enzymes wouldn't be likely to address. Am I right that enzymes

don't help with rice? or does it just depend on the child?

Thanks for any advice. I'm a bit shell-shocked.
