Guest guest Posted March 13, 2005 Report Share Posted March 13, 2005 We did a test that showed our son was considerably low in omega-6 fatty acids (and slightly in the omega-9s, too). Our doc hasn't been much help on supplementing for this. I'm thinking we should supplement with the Carlson's lemon cod liver oil and evening primrose, OR flax and evening primrose, if he won't do the flavored CLO, along with feeding him the food sources of EFAs. I just can't seem to figure out the quantities. The whole idea of a correct ratio of 3s to 6s has me flummoxed. Also, the doc says flax is very allergenic and discouraged it, and since ds has already tested allergic to gluten, casein, soy, peanuts, buckwheat and egg whites... Any opinions or recommended sources would be greatly appreciated. Any flavored brands known would be great, too. Thanks! Kathy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
