1st timer

[Guest guest]

Hello All

I have been a member of this message group for a few weeks now & finally have

decided to join in for the 1st time due to a question that came up.

My 2.5 year old daughter was diagnosed at age 2 with autism. We have been on

the gluten free, cassein free (and mostly soy free) diet since April & have

been quite pleased with the results (although we always want more, right)

We have an appointment with DAN! dr O'hara (in CT) set up for August.

In the meantime, I wanted to start the next step by adding some supplements to

our regimen

I just bought Nordic Naturals ProEFA & Cod Liver Oil. I didn't want to

introduce two things at once so I started ProEFA alone yesterday morning

I think a full dosage would be two capsules, right?? (I ordered the gel caps

you can pierce)...I wanted to wean her in so I only gave her 1 capsule on day

one (I squeezed it in her very watered down juice & she readily took it)

What followed soon afterwards were 2 diapers with VERY loose poop (sorry to

be so gross)..that is not usual for her b/c before all of this her stools were

always " normal " ..I know, whatever that means...but her demeaner was her ahppy

self, didn't complain of any belly pains, etc..

So today on day 2 I followed suit..also only giving one capsule in her juice

this morning. Same thing..she has 2 very loose BMs & now has a fever & watery

eyes (probably associated with the fever)..and less ebergetic..NOT her happy

self

So..I can only assume this is a reaction to the meds. I guess maybe I am

hoping someone can educate me on what the good reactions & bad reactions would

be

to the supplement

On the diet, when you 1st see bad reactions people tell you to continue on

course & then it gets better...is it the same for these supplements or is this a

reaction that means we need to stop immediately?

Did I give her too much. Should I try again tomorrow but this time with only

half capsule in Am & then half in afternoon (maybe I shouldn't have given her

one whole capsule worth in one shot)?

I haven't even added the cod liver oil to the mix yet

Any opinons on what I should do or what is happening would eb great. I am a

bit disappointed..I was so pleased at the diet results & just felt motivated

to keep the progress going

Thanks in advance for your input..and thanks for listening
