Does Cod Liver Oil cause hyperactivity?

[Guest guest]

Hi,

Does CLO cause hyperactivity? We are using NN Strawberry Liquid.My son

is just a mess!If so, what else can you try? I need to get my son on

some DHA, etc stuff.

We are also trying to treat suspected yeast issues by cutting out

sugar and giving probiotics.

Thanks,

Possible that he doesn't tolerate the strawberry so you may want to try a

different flavor - or no flavor - to start

But for some the EFAs can cause hyper/aggression. Doesn't mean he may not

be in dire need of the stuff. Might just mean he cant metabolize it w/o

some help (potentially - carnitine, lipase etc etc) and w/o other

vitamins/antioxidants in place first.

But I would suspect the strawberry flavoring first

Thank you ! I just bought some EFA chewables for him, they also have

Primrose oil in them. He tried them once and took them, then stopped

the next day. I tried them - and guess what - they tasted like cherry

flavored fish! YUCK! But I will look for another that has Primrose Oil

in it.

Good Luck to you also,

The protocol for introducing cod liver oil to those who are intolerant of it

consists of preloading with EPO for 4-6 weeks before adding the cod liver

oil back.

EPO at 1300 mgs is what is recommended for the entire 4-6 week period before

adding clo.

Hi,

I'm going to sound very ignorant - what is EPO? What does it do? I

am going to the Health Food Store today to exchange the EFA's, so I

will get that instead and do it for 4-6 weeks.

Thanks so much,

Sorry, EPO=Evening Primrose Oil, it is a good form of Omega 6, which some

think is lacking in the kids who don't do well on the cod liver oil, has to

be preloaded. My advice, start slowly with the EPO and increase gradually.

My son required mito cocktail and amino acids, especially taurine, and

pre-loading with Omega 6 [EPO] before he tolerated anything with Omega

3. I wrote about it here
