fish oil

[bmom]

Just curious if anyone has actually had success with this. It seems everyone I have read has had increased tics. 3 people recently recommended it, but I am afraid to try it. Sheila Rogers, Caz from Bontech, and Dr. Tanya Murphy's assistant have recommended it. I ordered the Bontech ones. I am nervous to try them. Has anyone seen improvement on them?

I didn't know Bontech did fish oil.

yes, Bonnie has a fishoil supplement in her Bontech range http://www.bonniegr.com/ts-PLUS%20EPA%20DHA.htm

 

 

bmom, I do know that fishoil is recommended as being the very best source of omega 3 as it has all the right stuff in the best form and delivers it quickly to the system

 

however

people with TS *DO* often seem to exhibit an increase in tics from fishoil sources of omega 3 even when they dont have allergy/sensitivity to fish itself. Not sure why, but we have enough reports of it on this board alone to know that it *is* a problem for many.

 

it is worth a try tho as it truly is the best omega 3 source. My son cannot take it as he has a marked waxing when he does. My hubby seems to do well on it tho. Son uses organic flaxseed oil and freshly ground organic flaxseed on salads etc.

BMom,

 

I was very leary of using it too since I read that it was a trigger for many kids.

 

We have been using EFA Focus with success. http://www.efa-focus.com/ I buy it from our dr. but you can also order it on line.

 

I tried MANY other fish oils which my son gagged on. This one seems to work and has not caused any tics for us.

 

Good luck!
