Barring something horrible such as having celiac disease, just about any vegetable-based enzymes supplement, such as Bio88+ (Plus), is great. But…children are not adults. What size doses should I be giving my child? Enzyme dosing is by amount and type of food eaten and not based on age or weight. A good plan is to start with part of one capsule of one product per significant meal or snack. Then increase to one capsule, then start in a similar way with other enzyme products. In neuro_typical population, there is no established upper limit on enzyme dosing, and no toxicity associated with oral enzymes. How many capsules or tablets would depend on specific formulation and individual’s need. For those individuals who tend to ‘graze,’ interval dosing may be more appropriate. Most people need to experiment (within reason!) with dosing to find level that best suits you or your child’s individual needs. When is best time for giving enzymes? This varies with type of supplement used. The best time for some is with first few bites of meal or just before mealtime. With others, such as Bio88+ (Plus), it is with or just after meal and for breakfast and supper – twice a day. If you forget, go ahead and take enzymes during meal and even at end of meal. The important point is to take enzyme, which works on contact. Food stays in stomach for up to 90 minutes, therefore, introducing enzymes anytime during meal will still provide benefits. Some people see much better results if they wait 20 to 30 minutes after swallowing enzymes contained in vegetable based capsules before they eat. Apparently vegetable capsules take longer to dissolve in stomach environment. Waiting before eating allows time for capsule to dissolve and sufficiently release enzymes into stomach.
| | A Constipation Remedy Using Potassium and PrunesWritten by Rudy Silva
Potassium and prunes are a natural constipation remedy that you can quickly use to help you get constipation relief.Potassium is needed in your colon walls to insure that peristaltic action occurs. Without potassium, colon walls are weak and unable to respond and contract properly when fecal matter needs to be move. Potassium in your colon wall tissues brings in more oxygen, which is required for good cell function and elimination of toxins. In addition, potassium creates an alkaline environment inside and outside cell, which help protect cell walls from bacteria, fungus, and other pathogens. Potassium is a powerful source when it comes to cleaning, feeding and building your colon walls. Removing thin layer of buildup – harden mucus, dried fecal matter, waste derby, heavy metals - against your colon wall can be accomplished by eating those foods that are high in potassium. Excess buildup on your colon walls of fecal matter and toxins is a cause of continual constipation. This build up prevents your colon walls from functioning properly. Potassium is necessary for reducing anxiety and depression. These conditions can affect peristaltic movements of your colon. Lack of it causes muscles and organs to sag and lack tone. Potassium, also, draws water out of body. So when potassium is in your colon it attracts water and pulls it into fecal matter. This makes your fecal matter softer and easier to move along colon.
