Our LO's reflux may have come back. We are waiting for the results of our PH probe to come back. He does not tolerate milk well and soy hurts his tummy. So we are off of direct dairy, like milk, pediasure, ice cream etc. We do not cut it out of baked goods as of yet.

I am looking for a good enzyme to give him and all the links I have found on here are old and the pages are no good anymore.

Anyone have any suggestions on a good enzyme?

There are a few of us on this forum who use or have used enzymes. Both of my kids take them. We use enzymes from Houston Nutraceuticals. They make a broad-spectrum enzyme called TriEnza which you could likely use a small amount mixed into a bottle. http://www.houstonni.com/ ...we've been using enzymes from Houston Nutraceuticals for Ben and Paige and they've been great. I like to mix the kids' enzymes into fruit sauce (apple sauce or baby food fruit works great) and have them eat that at the beginning of their meal. Then you don't have to worry about it mixing into their drink well, or little floaties, or undisolved parts that get left at the bottom of the cup. Maybe you could do that with the Kids Digest too? I'm sure you could phone Enzymedica to check - I would think fruit juice and fruit sauce should have similar enough properties to produce the same response. Kirkman is also a great company. We get lots of supplements from them too.

this looks helpful?
