Information
How do enzyme supplements help in
autism and other pervasive developmental disorders (PDDs)?
Many may have general
digestion problems, leaky gut, inflammation in the gut, yeast overgrowth, or
other conditions that result in insufficiently digested food and poor
absorption which enzymes may help improve. Some, not all, children with
autism exhibit behavioral problems that lessen with the removal of certain
foods. There is some evidence that insufficiently broken down proteins may
bind to receptors in the gut and brain causing problematic symptoms and
behaviors.
Other foods may result
in equally problematic, although different, symptoms. Enzymes help break
down foods more sufficiently so they will not be in a form that is
problematic or causes an immune system reaction. At the same time, they may
help heal the fundamental gastrointestinal issues.
-
enzymes can be given
with everything except some probiotics (better to divide those, but it
really depends on the brand of enzymes and probiotics)
-
enzymes may enhance
supplement uptake and utilization
-
enzymes can be frozen
but must not become warm
-
enzymes can be
sprinkled on the food, or put in liquid or other substances
