I r...Hi, sorry it has taken me so long to respond. I really appreciate the comment, thanks. <br /><br />That sounds like an easy way to do the enzymes. I don't know why it's different but could be to do with the fact that we are in the UK and you are in the US but I don't know. It's not so hard, just takes a bit of getting used too. The enzyme we use is called Micro Creon, you get a little pot of granules and a scoop the size of half a capsule! Micro is right. Everything Sammy has ever eaten has been worked out to a quarter of a scoop. 90mls / 3oz of milk is one and three quarters of a scoop. A breastfeed is one and a half scoops. If it was obvious he was not digesting all the fat then our dietician would tell us to increase by a quarter of a scoop. As Sammy started solid food we only measured things in half scoops and just this week we have started using some capsules so that is the equivalent of two scoops. <br /><br />I can see how difficult this sounds but I know that by being precise we are giving a good amount of enzymes to digest the fat and at the same time not to much so we avoid a blocked bowel. <br /><br />Thanks again for the comments. I hope your son is doing well.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09196998636126187410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1802557124174772506.post-5653812857901894702014-03-02T05:47:24.063-08:002014-03-02T05:47:24.063-08:00I get those looks ordering my son mozzarella stick...I get those looks ordering my son mozzarella sticks and french fries for dinner in a restaurant- you do get used to it although if someone ever said anything to me I'd love the excuse to go off on them lol. I've never heard of having to calculate exact enzyme dosages for a kid so young before. When my son was little we had X enzymes for meals and X enzymes for snacks that were always the same. We always fed him high fat meals and snacks so we could assume the enzyme dosage was always the same. No problems doing it that way for us- maybe you could switch over too. Seems like a huge pain to calculate out for every meal!Glue Meets Paperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14395813823137441539noreply@blogger.com
