My son, a confirmed malabsorber, is 95th percentile in all areas. It

sounds like your son is responding well to fish oil but there may be

more gut healing needed. I say that as a mom and not an expert. My

kid has a milk issue (his eczema is gone too). Fish oil only helped

with sensory stuff and he never regressed so it may not even have

helped with that or his gut could have healed more since the fish

oil. Don't know.

I would ask about probiotics based on the antibiotic history. I took

antibiotics with my son in utero and he was on IV antibiotics at 5

mos for a UTI. We use an infant probiotic (started it a few weeks

ago) and other days he takes the kirkman chewable. He always pooped

too much and lost nutrients. Off milk that stopped but we knew from

that poop his gut was in bad shape. The probiotic gives a nice even

consistency. It often stinks coming out but I think that is a healing

sign based on the improvements, both sensory and speech that we have

seen from the probiotic alone. It does drum up yeast but we have not

treated that. It was a huge find for us as there was a point, on fish

oil and off milk, where he regressed talking and now we have a

talkative, happy, funny and in context kid. Imagine what will happen

next week when he can see better with his new glasses? The kid amazes

me daily. I am so proud of him and hope to find more things to lessen

the burden he has been carrying around. A lot for a 2 year old.

> Hi all,

> Alot of you talk about your kids not absorbing the nutrients and

so on. Are many of your kids small for age or short in stature? My

son who is intolerant of milk (the eczema finally going away finally

confirmed that after removing it), is actually off the charts for his

height and weight. He has the low tone, especially truncal and oral

and severe apraxia, he does not speak at all just sounds. He gropes

alot when it is the two of us but can't get anything out. He is 39

lbs and 39 inches and he will be 3 in December. I have been giving

him 1 ProEfa NN a day since July. He still has no words but since

July he has went from MMM to MMMaa, ah, buh, eh and ha. He can also

now blow out candles and whistles with less effort and the motor

planning issus are better. But still no words.

> My questions are could he still be one whose gut is bad? and he

how much fish oil a day?

> He definetely always had bowel problems he would go from diarrhea

to constipation alot and he was on an antibiotic from the time he was

6 weeks old to almost 2 years old. This year alone he was on 7 of

them. Any suggestions are appreciated.

,

You may want to speak with www.kellydorman.com. It would be worth your money

to speak with her. My son is two and also quite tall for his age, 27 months.

He has made tremendous changes in over 2 months since starting the vitamins.

Dorman is an excellent nutritionist. I am giving my son 3 NN Compete

3/6/9 with Borage Oil. 800 iu of Vitamin E, ThreeLac Probiotic and

Phospaline along with Multivitamin. That is what I started with. Also seeing

a DAN! Doc.

Thanks,

Colleen

Hi all,

Alot of you talk about your kids not absorbing the nutrients and so on. Are

many of your kids small for age or short in stature? My son who is

intolerant of milk (the eczema finally going away finally confirmed that

after removing it), is actually off the charts for his height and weight. He

has the low tone, especially truncal and oral and severe apraxia, he does

not speak at all just sounds. He gropes alot when it is the two of us but

can't get anything out. He is 39 lbs and 39 inches and he will be 3 in

December. I have been giving him 1 ProEfa NN a day since July. He still has

no words but since July he has went from MMM to MMMaa, ah, buh, eh and ha.

He can also now blow out candles and whistles with less effort and the motor

planning issus are better. But still no words.

My questions are could he still be one whose gut is bad? and he how much

fish oil a day?

He definetely always had bowel problems he would go from diarrhea to

constipation alot and he was on an antibiotic from the time he was 6 weeks

old to almost 2 years old. This year alone he was on 7 of them. Any

suggestions are appreciated.

Hi,

we used Dorfman when we were in MD but didn't find her so useful even

though she has an awesome reputation. In our case I was a little concerned that

she didn't base any recommendations for our son on testing although other

nutritonists like Dana Laake do recommend testing. She also prescribed Piracetam

for our son which I was shocked to discover was a prescription drug which we had

to get by an odd route shipping it from the UK from a bodybuilding supplements

magazine. I am sure others are very positive about her advice but it didn't work

for us.
