Guest guest Posted June 9, 2008 Report Share Posted June 9, 2008 We started our 7 year old on enzymes after he'd been on a GF diet for about 4 months. He'd acutally reached the point where he would avoid Gluten himself - like refusing to eat pizza at a birthday party. We're about one month into the enzymes (1 Digest Gold plus 1/2 a Glutenese at each meal) and with one whole Glutenese with meals containing gluten in small amounts. We decided to do a big test, letting him eat regular pizza with the enzymes. He previously was a kid who left the crust on the plate after eating the rest of the slice; this time, he ate the crust first and was actually picking at the rest of it from the bottom, trying to get more crust. Then Saturday, at a birthday party, he was absolutely scarfing down PB & J sandwiches - just slamming them in, and it dawned on me that they were " regular " with gluten. He was just like an addict. I gave him Glutenese, and he didn't seem to have any aftereffects the way he would have with diet transgressions before the enzyme treatment. Sunday he went reaching for a roll, and I told him not to have it and he said, " You can give me the medicine for it, Mom. " (BTW, this is a pretty huge thing for him to make a comment like that.) Again, he was circling the table with the rolls on it, staring at the rolls - yikes! I gave him a piece of one, with enzymes, and he didn't ask for more that time. Has anyone else seen this kind of behavior? I'm not sure there's any real problem so long as he gets the enzymes and doesn't have behavioral or physical aftereffects, but it was still so weird that I was concerned and was wondering if anyone else had this experience.
