Guest guest Posted August 25, 2008 Report Share Posted August 25, 2008 My son was doing so great on 1 tsp. cod liver oil per day, which we had recently increased from 1/2 tsp. Our DAN said that since he was doing so well, then to increase to 1 1/2 tsp. for 3 wks. and then go back down. The first week or so, he did great. She had also suggested we increase Carnitine to 500 mg. per day, which isn't too much. Anyways, my son all of a sudden acted like he felt bad and started randomly vomitting for several days off and on...very different from a virus, which is constant and then over. He would seem ok, then vomit, then didn't have an appetite, then ok. This happened for like 5 days to my kid who NEVER gets sick. He either had diarrhea, VERY light stools and then finally had a BM that was very very light tan, almost beige and formed. I know white BM is a very bad sign. Reading up on all of these symptoms, I kept running into Hep A. Could this have been brought about by the high dose cod liver oil?? Or does it sound like the cod liver oil at that dose was too hard on the liver? I took a one day total break from supplements and didn't give any CLO for the last few days. Today I started everything back at " normal " doses and he is happy, energetic, etc. Does CLO bring about things like this? I am going to give Milk Thistle for the liver, but am wondering if I should take him in. He isn't have any symptoms anymore, but I just have access to my computer now after being out of town and the thought of all of this is very scary to me. Any advice??
