Sat down and read the brochure from the chiropractor. Here is the enzyme stuff he was talking about for Nicholas.

Here are the ingredients. I’m wary of giving him anything, but I’d like your opinions.

Proprietary Enzyme Blend, Fructose, Natural Flavors, Citric Acid, and Annato (color). Also:

Contains NO added fillers, lubricants, soy, wheat, corn, dairy, yeast, gluten, starch, or salt.

Kristin,

I use digestive enzymes regularly with Ben (a different brand though) and they’ve been just great for him. I have used them for Paige too, but she’s been going through such a tough time lately that we’ve cut out almost all solids until she gets in to see the specialist in a couple months.

Is Nicholas on solids yet, or is the chiropractor suggesting to use them with Elecare alone?

Here is another post about enzymes, perhaps it could be helpful too.

Kristin in response to you other post for my opinion on enzymes. I unfortunately live in a very small town with a very old school hospital system so we didn’t really do much with enzymes other than for cystic fibrosis patients. I would say however that they help those patients a ton. I would go with your gut and look at the link Sheri posted. I would say they couldn’t hurt, but if Nicholas isn’t taking any solids (am I remembering right?) then I probably personally would off as to not make things any worse.. But that is just my opinion.

Kristin,

Sorry- I should have clarified. No solids. I think I will leave well enough alone for now. I wouldn’t think that he would have problem digesting the Elecare, since it is made for tummies such as his.

emily- Nicholas is 7 months, but he is not on any solids (just Elecare). And this was suggested by the chiropractor and I am taking what he says with a grain of salt for now.
