Hi Sherry-

My daughter could not tolerate a lot of fish oil supplements, and I

finally figured out that it was the flavoring. Both my kids now take

omega-brite (omega-brite.com), which is unflavored (but doesn't have a

strong fish taste either).

The gfcf diet was the only thing that helped my daughter's sensory

issues, and they disappeared very quickly once we changed her diet. OT

never made any difference and I didn't see any supplements making a

difference either.

I would definitely try:

1. carnaware (2 caps twice a day)

2. omega-brite (at least 2 caps twice a day)

3. vit E (at least 400 IU a day, and work up to 800)

4. essential GSH from wellnesshealth.com - this produced great

language gains for both my children

5. gfcf diet

I don't know how long he will need the supplements - maybe

indefinitely. If your child's bloodwork shows a deficiency in vit E,

omega 3 fatty acids, etc., it's wise to supplement regardless. My

daughter no longer has any delays or issues, and I can tell you that I

am so thrilled that her development is normal now that I have no

interest in getting her off the supplements. If they helped her so

much, she obviously has a need for them, right? If the supplements

make an obvious difference, I suspect you will be so happy you won't

think about stopping them for quite a while .

good luck,

Hi ,

My stupidity keeps being reinforced--sorry about that. To my dismay,

it turns out I am still very computer-challenged.........

So now I have to ask for more help.

I went to omega-brite.com and found a company touting several

different brands of fish oil, none of them listed as omega-brite.

Maybe I ended up at the wrong website. I am very interested in the

omega-brite gelcaps that you are using. I need to know where to find

information about them, you know, the label listing ingredients, where

to buy them, etc.

You said these are unflavoured yet don't have a strong fish taste. Do

you have a particular method for getting your children to take these?

Or is the taste okay to the point that they will take them straight

from the spoon?

And while I am thinking about it, I wonder how old a child needs to be

before he can swallow these gelcaps. How do you teach a child to do

this?

Thanks so much for your help.

Oops, Sherry, my mistake. The website is

http://www.omegabrite.com

I make the mistake of putting in the hyphen when I order sometimes.

Sorry about that!

My kids can both swallow capsules now, but before my daughter learned

to swallow them I punctured the gelcaps and squeezed the oil into

orange juice. She didn't mind taking it at all.

, how old were your kids when they learned to swallow capsules, and was

there some trick to teaching them how, without their choking on the capsule?

Thank you, Suzanne

Hi -

This wasn't addressed to me, but I taught my 2 year old to swallow the

regular sized proefa caps and he had a gag reflex like you wouldn't

believe!!

First off, the longer it's in your mouth, the slimier it becomes and

easier to swallow. I also taught him to lean FORWARD because then the

cap floats to the back of your throat and you just swallow it down

without having to fish it out of the front of your mouth. Ice cream

or yogurt or pudding also can help it go down because it gets lost in

it. Expect some gagging, but tell him that it CAN work and I bet you

have some success!

Hi -

This wasn't addressed to me, but I taught my 2 year old to swallow the

regular sized proefa caps and he had a gag reflex like you wouldn't

believe!!

First off, the longer it's in your mouth, the slimier it becomes and

easier to swallow. I also taught him to lean FORWARD because then the

cap floats to the back of your throat and you just swallow it down

without having to fish it out of the front of your mouth. Ice cream

or yogurt or pudding also can help it go down because it gets lost in

it. Expect some gagging, but tell him that it CAN work and I bet you

have some success!
