I wish I knew more about enzymes but the one company I asked wouldn't let me sign up for their on line course without being an employee of their distributors, lol.
But there are different enzymes you can supplement depending on what foods you aren't digesting well. When we don't digest/pass food as we should, that stuff sitting around becomes a hiding place for parasites and our bodies get to taxed working on the food to work on expelling the parasites. Enzymedica-digest gold is the one I take (have given to the kids in the past) its a sort of catch all for a wide range of foods, we use to be allergic to just about everything. Enzymetica I think its called is another brand (they have an autism logo on theirs), they have a bottle even strictly for teens, I thought that was nice to see.

We eat things like flour and processed foods so that's why I take them. The kids only took them while I was healing their digestive systems and getting rid of our allergies and asd symptoms. If we are traveling or having a junk fest ill give them some in apple sauce to help their bodies be able to pass the junk right out. It takes a lot to get junk food out, a bit more than my family can handle at times.

But that's just us. For others it might be just adding certain foods/herbs to their diet(like the ones I mentioned earlier).

And having regular bowel movements is really the key. If someone comes in contact with parasites or the eggs, if they can just pass them out after the meal closest to contacting them that's a huge portion of the battle. They won't have time to lodge in or release eggs.

And respritory (sp?) health should be mentioned as well. That can be done with foods/herbs added to the daily diet. Oregano, honey, stuff like that.

Probiotics are great and the kids eat yogurt daily for that. They use to take supplements. But when we had parasites we were taking really high quality probiotics. Might have been because the weren't eliminating as often as they should or maybe they were missing something to the big picture that would have made the good bacteria stick. I don't know. But for some that's not enough.once I cleaned out there pipes ((giggle)) they didn't need to supplement. A good yogurt with live cultures and fiber was all the need.

And then there's the whole yeast/thrush and parasite correlation. Not sure which comes first but some people are more susceptable to yeast. If there's yeast, there's gonna be parasites! Another environment they thrive in. So not just getting rid of obvious yeast but making sure its all out of the system will keep parasites from comming back. That might have been why the kids symptoms returned after I had the baby. The baby and I had thrush. Part of getting rid of it completely was not just internally but external as well. I had to rinse the dishes and clothes in gse or vinegar until we were thrush free. The older kids didn't have "thrush" but I could tell they were having yeast issues (white tongue, phlegm(sp?), odor when wiping after going potty. Just symptoms I'd come to recognize.
....Gotta go get the kids ready, hths ....
