Vitamin E question

First off, I would like to say that I am fascinated by the Vitamin E

discovery that's been going on here and would like to try it with my

daughter. I have been unable to find my answer in the archives and

I hate to sound repetitive and ask questions already answered, but I

have been MIA for a while so bear with me :)

A brief background, my daughter is 3 1/2, she has apraxia and PDD-

NOS. She is on a GF/CF diet and also does not eat soy or eggs (with

this regiment we are finally diarrhea free! yea!). Right now she

is taking 2 Pro-EFA's and 1 EPA/ 2 times per day. My question is,

should I add the vitamin E now and if so, how much? And how do I

find a brand without soy? Or do you think I should add another dose

of Omega 3's first (2 more pro-efa's and 1 epa a day) or just go

with the vitamin E for now? Did anyone see any behavioral

regression when starting the E? We get that whenever we up the

Omega 3's (sensory issues go up before they stabilize again).

Thank you so much, and sorry if everyone else is way beyond this! I

spent hours on the archives and somehow the answer was eluding me.

Thanks!

I am using a Vitamin E with 450 mg of gamma. I am seeing wonderful

results. I found this company called Yasoo, and apparently they are big

into Vitamin E, its research, etc. All in all, it's a pretty informative

website. I highly recommend visiting the site just to learn what they are

doing. They have even made a Vitamin E in a liquid form!

Here's the website: http://yasoo.com

The product I'm giving: http://yasoo.com/vite-maxi.htm
