Thanks in advance for help and guidance.

Here's my situation:

I have a 4 y.o. daughter on the spectrum. She is high fuctioning, I

believe. She is a happy child with a great sense of humor. She

doesn't tantrum very often. She is slowly becoming expressively

verbal, and has a tremendous receptive vocabulary. She has almost no

sensory issues. She eats many and varied foods. She is a good weight

and height. She is affectionate, but not terribly social. Nor does

she have much imaginary play. She likes her school activities but has

little interest in her classmates. She has some transition problems,

but they vary day to day, week to week and are not severe.

She is also VERY healthy, never an ear infection, few colds, etc.

She does have verbal/oral stims: giggling, growling, shouting

nonsense, whispering, muttering nonsense, grimacing, saliva play.

She has some sleep interuption issues about once a month (right now

it's waking up at about 4 am and shouting for an hour or so before

falling back asleep).

She runs back and forth, uses a jumper or jumps up and down. She has

some hand flapping. At the moment she is masturbating (over her

clothes) a lot right now. She also goes what I call " boneless " and

gets giggly.

She has no interest in using the toilet. She will sit there but will

not use it. She has regular to soft bowel movements.

We have her on Juice Plus vitamins, Omega-cure fish oil, Nutri-West

Trace Min Plus mineral supplements (for pica, which is 98% gone now

and to supplement the DMG) and DMG (250 mgs daily). She also gets

melatonin every night.

I want to try enzymes for opiate issues with food digestion. Can

anyone give me some direction in addressing her issues this way as

well as success stories with enzymes and these issues.

Again, thanks so much for any advice, help or stories. All the best

to all of you and your children!
