Enzymes

It seems like he isn’t eating as much, but he didn’t really have a huge appetite the last week or so either, so it might just be a “not in a growth spurt” thing.  It does seem to be just a little less though.

When asked, one time he said his stomach hurt, but not enthusiastically.   Later he said it didn’t hurt.  He didn’t volunteer the information.  Our interpretation of that:  he probably didn’t have a stomach ache or it was pretty slight.

It seems like a slight increase in eye contact, but don’t know how significant it is since that changes day to day.  It was not shockingly different eye contact, but it did seem that there was just a bit more.  We aren’t sure if it is because we are watching for it though or if it is an actual change.

No changes in the diapers…still as stinky as always, but not really more so.

Enzymes

Early this afternoon Zane said that his “body hurt” and I asked if his stomach hurt and he said his stomach was “hot”.

Most of the day he was pretty stimmy…did a lot of running in circles in the back yard, giggling.  He said the grass was “bumpy”.  Much of the evening he wanted to play on the computer, mostly standing up on his toes, laughing, and some flapping.  He was in a good mood though.  We did get some eye contact during the video, but that was much more the exception than the rule.

On an odd note, when Zach spun him around today, he got dizzy.  We don’t remember ever seeing him actually dizzy before…he can spin forever and not get dizzy, so that was a bit different.  A few hours later Zach went to spin him again to see if he had the same reaction, and sure enough, when he set him down, he stumbled a bit.  Of course, it wasn’t like Zora who promptly fell over after a much shorter spin.  lol.

No changes in the diapers.

Enzymes

Somebody suggested to me that I blog exactly what I am doing with the Enzymes and such, and so I will.

The enzymes I he started on yesterday was Lacto by Enzymedica.  We are giving him partial capsules with each meal and will work our way up to a full capsule.  It is a broad spectrum, lower potency enzyme that helps digest lactose and casein.  (dairy stuff).

Once he is to a full capsule, we will add in GlutenEase, a protease thera-blend (stronger).  It has DPP-IV to help with both gluten and casein.

From my understanding, you often don’t have noticable adjustment symptoms until you add the GlutenEase, but it is better to build up to it rather than just hit their systems with everything at once.  I am finding it hard to be patient though.  lol.  (my mom would not be suprised at that)

 

At this point, there is nothing to report, negative or positive as far as any outward signs of anything.
