Flax Oil, Magnesium, Chicory Root

[Guest guest]

Okay, questions:

1. What is the highest level of magnesium I can give to a 6.5yo, 40-45

lb. child (to help with elimination)?

2. Is there a maximum amount on flax oil? I want to give my son the

capsules; he swallows pills well, and he prefers taking them that way.

3. Does anyone know where I can find chicory root in capsule form? This

is a good digestive aid for my son for fiber. It works well on him. I can

only find it in Yummi Bears so far, and my son HATES gummi bears (texture

issue); he swallows them whole when I have made him take them, but he

hates them.

actualy i look at the lowest level that is effective so that balances

are not unecessarily disturbed. 100mg(elemental equivalnet) of

magnesium chelate or glycinate works for me

flax seed oil is best in an opaque container kept in the refrigerator

becuase it is a very fragile oil, capsules would have oxidation

issues i think. one teaspoon in the morning?

quantities vary with absorbtion efficency, if there are digestive

issues, have you tried enzymes?

Yes, I've tried the enzymes with my son. They have not been effective. I

haven't tried them in conjunction with GFCF, though.
