Yes we take lot's of Green Pastures CLO. If you're already taking lots of CLO, why would you want to take additional fish oil? Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 11, 2008 Report Share Posted May 11, 2008 Hi We are doing the GAPS diet and my understanding of the GAPS book is that she was advocating CLO and a Fish Oil, not just the one. I thought there was not enough EFA's in CLO, that it was for A and D. That we needed other oils like Fish, Flax (i forget the other now) for the EFA's. She def. comes across as needing these other oils in regardless of already taking CLO. Also the various articles on Mercolas site have raised a bit of concern in me about taking CLO in the summer. I thought maybe some days we should use Fish Oil instead for less D. Still not sure about that though. I have been skeptical that the ODing he claims is easy with Sun and CLO is because he wants to sell Krill oil, not because the ODing is really that likely. If by taking Green Pastures CLO at the WAP levels (i nurse so i take dbl) is cutting it for EFA's then i will stick with using it alone. I am actually taking the Radiant Life capsules right now - 8 through the day. We just bought a pill maker and the fermented CLO and Butter oil to start making ours. I can't stomache the taste of the oils i have extremely sharp taste/smell i have to take the pills or i start gagging it back up. Dr. McBride said in her book that A is essential as lack of A is always the case with GAPS people. She said that it is a chicken or the egg kind of thing. A defic. can cause a LG and LG can lead to the defic of A. Now i am trying to figure out exactly what a daily therapeutic dose would be for a nursing mom. If it should be more than what i am taking or not. The baby get's 1/2 tspn of the non fermented Green Pastures CLO daily. She is strictly BF and 8 mos. No teeth yet and i am waiting until she has a few before starting any solids. Sorry more than you asked to know. But i planned to post about that also as i want to make sure baby is not getting too much with me taking 2 servings plus giving her some directly. I have forgotten a lot of the info/guidelines in regards to this on the WAP site and have to read through it all again. So much to keep straight . I keep the basic recommended levels on the fridge but do not recall what they say (if they even do) in this situation, when mom is taking dbl and baby is getting hers too. Thanks for any advice, > > , >> If you're already taking lots of CLO, why would you want to take > additional fish oil? > > Chris > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
