Gagging and some vomitting

[Guest guest]

Hello all,

My daughter has been SCD for about 4 weeks. Just this last week she has

started gagging and vomiting. Her diet consists of chicken, beef,

carrots, spinach, apples, pears, bananas and scd legal grape juice

along with her vitamins and medicines. All foods cooked except banana

and juice is diluted 50/50 with water. The ony thing new is on May 2nd

I added nordic natural ultimate omega fish oil to her daily diet. The

amount is approx 2.5 ml's a day. One other thing I put fresh garlic in

her chicken soup. I removed the garlic after cooking. Do you think

either of these things could be attributing to her symptoms. The first

day I remember her starting the gaging on May 6. Any information you

can offer is appreciated.

Only a guess on my part but I would withhold the fish oil. Apparently

other people have reacted very badly to that brand. See:

If your daughter was doing well before the introduction of the NN

fish oil and the garlic I'd remove both and when feeling well try

each seperately to see if they caused the problem or if it was

something else like a virus etc...

If you retry the NN and/or garlic I'd start with smaller amounts and

*very* slowly increase in case she has a reaction. Maybe skipping a

day or two in between doses.
