Re: []EFA problems-need advice

[Guest guest]

Dear friends,

Has anyone on this list had success or problems with essential fatty

acids? Every so often I try to introduce them to my daughter, only to have

problems. I tried Dale 's Omea-3 brand and she seemed to be

miserable for the 3 of the 4 days while being on them...and I only gave her

1 capsule a day. I stopped giving it to her yesterday and she seems happier

today. I've tried DHA, evening primrose oil and EFLAX in the past and

everyone of these seem to bring on irritable, aggitated behavior. Any

thoughts?

Thanks,

mom to beautiful, singing who just turned 13

My son always reacted to EFAs, either with behavior or wetting. After

enzymes, he did not react so much with behavior, but still with

wetting. Some parents report very good success with them, though. I

am eager to try flax oil again soon, but it is hard to get it into my

son - he can't stand the taste.

13, beautiful and singing? That's so sweet!

I have tried CLO, flax, and evening primrose for my son. I even tried

them for myself. Both my son and I had major negative reactions, even

with enzymes. So I don't use them. And we are just fine [well, my

SON is just fine, *I* am debatable LOL].

I think we are both getting sufficient fatty acids in our regular

foods, so I do not believe we currently need " supplementation " in this

area.

I asked this once before and never saw the answer come through...am

hoping someone knows...

what is difference between Omega 3, 6 and 9...? Is it just the

" molecule " size? Sorry if this sounds stupid...you don't know until

you ask (and I'm sure I'm not the only one who would want an answer to

this one)...anyway, if just a molecule size issue, wouldn't enzymes help

break down ... can you get " 3 " s from breakdown of " 9s " or " 6s " for

example? Any insight at all would be greatly appreciated.

Dear Dana,

What types of efa's are you getting in your regular diet if you don't

mind me asking. I try switching oils when I'm baking 's muffins and

pancakes and use olive oil spray when coating muffin tins and chicken skin.

If you go to this link you will find 's DAN conference notes

including a few speakers who focused on EFAs

Because we reacted so badly here to the EFA supplements I tried, I am

not supplementing with any. We are doing fine tho, so I am assuming

we are receiving everything we need from our regular diet. Altho I

can't really tell you exactly WHICH foods we are eating which would

contain them. Sorry.

Dear Dana,

That's OK. Just curious as to what specific oils you use when baking or

cooking.

Thanks,

I get my best results [meaning no results LOL, no reactions] using

regular butter [gf] and regular Mazola corn oil. Strange, but true.
