Guest guest Posted March 24, 2008 Report Share Posted March 24, 2008 what could cause this? It seems to be happening about 90 minutes or so after peptizyde and digest. We are at one digest three times a day and one peptizyde in the a.m. and p.m. - it seems to happen after the peptizyde. Is there any connection to the enzyme -- ?? We were on a very mild ness 601 formula for about six months, then switched a couple weeks ago to the digest. I'm seeing lots of hyperness and aggression. The peptizyde was added in about five or six days ago. Viola Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We started 5 days ago and seem to be having the same issues. I keep reading everywhere to find out and it seems to happen to some kids. Definitely mine. I just started on this board and really appreciate everyone's input. I hope it gets better for you soon. Keep us posted. I am holding out for the 3 week marker with high hopes:).

Guest guest Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 Hi Viola I work for Enzymedica's education department. Digest doesn't contain any bromelain or papain. Because it seems to be happening after the peptizyde I would stop taking that and see how it works out or try switching to the AFP Peptizyde like Dana suggested because it does not contain any Papain. BUT if it continues to happen, well let's take it one step at a time. I was thinking high amounts of protease can sometimes bother both kids AND adults stomachs. Process of elimination is what I would do. Feel free to ask me any questions. Alessandra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 Another question I had - wouldn't I see that he's having stomach pain if it was the papain? I think that is the one I was giving him - and I do have the AFP too, so if that's right, I will try the switch. Thanks again for responding and giving me some ideas!

Guest guest Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 Hi Viola It could show up any way a food allergy would show up. Stomach pains, rashes, headaches. Papain is actually a really soothing enzyme. BUT if they don't tolerate it well, maybe that causes him to be irritable. Alessandra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 Hi Even though I've been reading here for five or six years this is my first post to the list. The bit about 90 minutes struck a chord with us, because it's something we always look out for with our son. In fact we used to see lots of problems with our son at 30 minutes and then at about 90 minutes after eating. The kinds of things we saw were that at 30 minutes he would start rocking from side to side and get very stimmy for a few minutes, at 90 minutes he would have a period of manic laughter and be very hyper for a few minutes, then it would pass as if nothing had happened. We changed the enzymes and foods around but we still got these episodes, and some combinations were worse than others, so we figured that for our son, since it happened with or without enzymes it was the process of digestion itself that was causing it to occur. We got a clue about the digestion possibility from a paragraph in newsletter about probiotics ( <http://www.bio-kult.com/newsletter/Newsletter4.pdf> http://www.bio-kult.com/newsletter/Newsletter4.pdf ) which indicated: " Transit Time When you eat, food is masticated in the mouth and mixed with alkaline saliva. This food bolus then passes into the stomach, where it mixes with the stomach juices and is churned around by the stomach muscle, much like in a washing machine. This liquid part of the mixture is called chyme, and 50% of this leaves the stomach 30 minutes after eating. " We believe that the 30 minute event was to do with the chyme, and that perhaps at 90 minutes the rest of the food leaves our son's stomach giving rise to another period of hyperactivity. Possibly an effect of a leaky gut! Last year when our son was eating nuts as part of the SCD diet, he would have a really hard time at 30 minutes and 90 minutes with the meals that contained nuts and it was always worse if enzymes had been given. When we started to try the Low Oxalate Diet, taking the nuts out reduced the intensity of the events, so he did less rocking at 30 minutes and was less stimmy and hyper at 90 minutes. We were also able to reintroduce the enzymes. Last year we also began to increase his Biotin to deal with the yeast problems he had, that also seems to have reduced the intensity of the events. Nowadays he usually has a period of blinking and finger flicking 30 minutes after he has eaten and is a bit more stimmy after 90 minutes, though not so intense that anyone else apart from us would notice it happening. We've even been able to travel on the train and underground again in the last few months (after eight years) without having the worry about the hyperness episodes. Hope this helps Sunil " </message/113247;_ylc=X3oD MTJzanVpdmhzBF9TAzk3MzU5NzE1BGdycElkAzMyOTc1MzEEZ3Jwc3BJZAMxNzA1MDYxNjE2 BG1zZ0lkAzExMzI0NwRzZWMDZG1zZwRzbGsDdm1zZwRzdGltZQMxMjA2NDEwMjMy> temper tantroms approximately 90 minutes after enzymes...

Guest guest Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 Thanks for the post - it does help. This could be what I'm seeing, as my son has a yeast problem and had a very, very leaky gut, which is much better than it used to be - but still needs help. Funny, I started him back on biotin in the last week for the yeast issues. I hope it helps here. I will also pay closer attention to the digestion issue and see if that could be what I'm seeing. I thought the 90 minutes was kind of weird.....I'm glad you responded - it gives me something to look at!

Guest guest Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 Tammy: I'm wondering, did you read that if you " push through " it gets better with kids who react at the 90 minute mark? I am thinking about stopping the Peptizyde temporarily and waiting a week or so and then try adding it in again and see if the same thing happens, but I did notice that the ness enzyme he was on without issues did have papaya leaf in it, so I don't think it's the papain in the peptizyde. If you are hearing that this is something that could get better over the next few weeks if you push through, I would like to continue and try it. My daughter is not usually a negative responder, so the fact that she is more irritable, crying, et cetera maybe it is just an adjustment period we need to get through?

Guest guest Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 My son was a bit more hyper when we switched to tri-enza...but now he had calmed down and his gains have returned...maybe you just need to give it a little time.

Guest guest Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 Hi Viola, I read and have been told that it could take around 3 weeks to get better. I am really hopeful. Today my daughter seemed a little less agressive but it was definitely still there. I am new to this so I may not be as knowledgable as others about the process. Have you been increasing the dose as recommended with the package? I decided to keep it at 2 capsules a day until I see improvement in her behavior melt downs. I hope I am doing the right thins. Keep me posted on what you decide. Tammy > > > > > > what could cause this? It seems to be happening about 90 minutes > or > > so > > > after peptizyde and digest.

Guest guest Posted March 27, 2008 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 Tammy: I decided to keep my son on the zyme prime, but take him off the peptizyde. I think he may be allergic to the papain. I called Houston Enzymes and they did tell me some children cannot handle the papain, which comes from the stem of the papaya, but there's some process it goes through that makes it similar to latex. So if someone is allergic to latex, there's a possibility they could be allergic to the peptizyde. When I went to our allergy clearing clinic yesterday, I asked them to check Mandell for latex and he shows an allergy for that. Plus, he was developing canker sores in his mouth for the first time ever. I have read that this can be a reaction to something you are sensitive to, so I decided to stop the peptizyde and get a sample from Houston of the AFP peptizyde, which doesn't have the papain and I will try that. I think they are okay with the zime prime, so I'm going to try continuing that. I did go a little faster than they say to go - I started with a 1/2 cap, but moved to a full cap within a day or two - I too stoped at 1 cap twice a day - then I reduced to 1/2, but with my son I was still seeing meltdowns - but like I said I think it is an allergy for him. My daughter was overly emotional too - but I don't think she's allergic to it. I decided to take her off and put her on the other product too. Good luck - let me know how it goes - I'm curious if it gets better, cause maybe they will have the same reaction to the next product. I do plan to go quite a bit slower next time - like maybe 1/4 to start for three or four days.

Check doses/quantities. Maybe if the other enzyme had a lower dose, he did not have as much of a problem.
