Re: no diet, just enzymes for last 2 days

[Guest guest]

You are absolutely not selfish! I'm happy for you and your son if this works

out!

Some kids are able to tolerate a much broader diet, if not all foods with

enzymes. I hope

your son is one of them. I think that the least limited diet for a child the

better. Due to

watching my son reactions, I'm a firm believer in getting nutrition from whole

foods rather

then depending solely on supplements. At our house, we are in such a fix, that

my son's

diet just keeps getting more and more limited, even with enzymes- which I'm very

disappointed to report. It's like we have painted ourself into a corner.The less

variety of

food he has, the more he creates new allergies. I think that a time will come in

healing

autism, that we won't have to be so dependant on eliminating food but rather

find another

way to heal the gut. All though, I'm clearly no expert; I'd say go for it. The

worse that will

happen is that it may not work out long term and you have to go back on the

diet. I've

tried a few times to just use enzymes and for about two weeks it usually worked

o.k. but

then the regressions got bad again. Once I put my son on the diet again we

started right

where we left off and did not loose any ground. I hope your family has a

fantastic time on

your trip!!!

I don't think you are being selfish. It sounds to me that you are

considering something that works well for him, so all of you can have

a nicer weekend. My son left gfcf with HNI enzymes, and he improved

because of it.

Maggie,

I look at these times as an opportunity to experiement. Just

recently I left my son with my parents overnight. In order not to

overwhelmed my Mom with DS's supplements, I left out the right before

bed and first thing in the morning Candidase just to see what would

happen. DS still got his probiotics, vitamins, minerals, and enzymes.

Well....DS was fine while he was there, but within 24 hours his yeast

was back. Darn it!! I guess I learned that he still needs the

Candidase. :-(
