snack. My 6 year old is tube fed - so I just administer it with some water into

his tube.

Any suggestions would be great.

When I first starting giving the ProEFA to my 2 yr old, he wouldn't

take it mixed in applesauce or other foods, which is what most people

do. I started mixing it with his liquid multi-vitamins (Natrol

Complete for Kids) and giving it to him with a medicine dropper. He

didn't love it at first, but he would take it. He just knows that he

has to take medicine, I guess. After a while, he got used to it and

now he even seems to like it. When I tell him it's time to take his

vitamins, he runs over to me and opens his mouth! I've had even better

results when I mix the oils with POM juice, which is strongly

flavored. I've heard some people squirt it in a little 7 up as a

special drink treat (the oil is lemon flavored after all) so you might

try that. Mine hates carbonation but some kids love soda and if you

don't let them have it very often, it might be a real selling point.

I prick the capsules and put them in vanilla pudding, custard or

applesauce. She loves it!

Same here. will, surprisingly, accept this. As one poster

suggested, we add a Kool Aid " slurry " to the mixture to flavor it. I

give 3 capsules (2 ProEFA and 1 EPA) plus 1/4 teaspoon of Kool

Aid mixed with 1/4 teaspoon water in a syringe and she takes it, no

problem. This is shocking to me. As I upped her dose, it got to be too

much to keep track of it all mixed into her juice or food. This is much

more efficient :-)

I squeeze the oil into a child's medicine syringe that is very skinny

(some are too fat and make my child gag just to put it into his

mouth). This Safety First Syringe holds 3 1000mg capsules. My child is

a resistent eater and it took about 5 mos to get him to take it

without vomiting. I squeeze the oil into the back of his cheek and

hold a Viva paper towel (very sift paper towels like those tissues

with lotion in them) to his lips so if any comes out I can catch the

spill.

You can start with 1 ProEFA per day if you like. Then you can increase it to 2

ProEFA per day. The next increase would be to add 1 ProEPA per day to the other

two. This is pretty much the standard if you search back in the archives. This

is what we did, and we personally made the increases each time after about a

month. Others have their own timeframes. Our little guy was 2 at the time.

Age and weight do not matter here.

Some people start with 2 ProEFA and 1 ProEPA per day right from the start.

Now, at 2 1/2, we are still using the fish oils, and of course Vit E, and we

have seen wonderful progress all long--no dramatic surges for us--but great

progress, and we are thrilled.

You can check the archives if you want more information. And I know lots of

people will respond to your question.

Good luck, surely very good things will happen for you.

I have a son who just turned two. We are suspecting that he has

apraxia. I just ordered ProEFA to see if that will help his speech.

What dose is recommended for a two year old?

I've been giving my son who is 27 months ProEfa now for 1 week. We

havn't really seen any results yet. I'm patient an will keep forcing

him to take it based on what I read but I'm concerned about the side

effects. Everything I've read indicates that there are no know side

effects. After the week of taking he suddenly got diahria. He's

never had any stomach issues in his entire life. Is this just a

coincidence or has someone else experienced this as a side effect?

Thanks, Jenn
