There've been other reports here of folks who's kids reacted badly to fish oil, in which case I think they've moved to flaxseed oil and other omega options.

 

Our DS has been taking the Norwegian Gold Super Critical Omega brand because it has the EPA:DHA ratio of 7:1 that had been recommended. This formula contains 780 mg. of EPA per capsule, and he takes two per day, so he's getting more than 1,500 mg. of EPA on a daily basis, to no ill effects.

 

It must depend on the kid?

I also read that some kids have problems with the fish oil based supplements. Our son takes Genesis Today chews. They're like orange starbust, and don't taste too bad. They only have 100 mg O3 in them and he's supposed to have 350mg per day. We also supplement a lot with diet, his regular multivitamin also has 35mg of O3 (not much but hey...we take it whereever we can) Voortman makes a line of cookies with flaxseed in them that have 500 - 750 mg of O3 per cookie (our son likes the oatmeal with 750mg. He thinks he's being sneaky when he eats them, little does he know, we leave them within his reach on purpose!)

 

You might also want to check the label on the new supplement, if it has Omega-6, that might be the problem. Dr. Murphy cautioned us when she recommended the O-3 to check for Omega 6 becaue it may actually cause inflammation. Just a thought!

 

Good luck!!
