Guest guest Posted October 10, 2006 Report Share Posted October 10, 2006 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 15, 2007 Report Share Posted January 15, 2007 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 On 1/15/07, claudia.morris <claudia.morris@...> wrote: > > > > I couldn't said it better myself! - > > > > You don't really know how much Vit E d-alpha is in this, since it > is giving the value for it along with the nixed natural tocopherols. > > > > Look for something that is 400 IU d-alpha Vit E.
