Guest guest Posted May 10, 2009 Report Share Posted May 10, 2009 We experienced the same type of thing you are talking about in the beginning with Ethan. So, we switched to Nordic Naturals DHA only and saw results. You may want to try DHA - we do the strawberry gels. Every kid is different so it is worth a try.

He has been getting EFA supplementation since he was about 2. For about 10 months now, I have been giving him 2 teaspoons of the Nordic Naturals ProEFa along with 2 capsules of Nordic Naturals ProEPA. I am disappointed to report that I really have not seen a difference since being on EFA's. A couple months ago, he had a stomach virus so we didn't give him EFA's for almost 2 weeks. We did not observe any regression. I'm wondering if anyone has any suggestions, could I be doing something wrong? Despite all of the intense speech therapy by PROMPT trained therapists, we have not been getting any new sounds and intelligiblity is still extremely poor. He has a good diet and is not on any other meds accept for a multi-vitamin fluoride which I give at least 10 hours after the EFA's. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Guest guest Posted May 11, 2009 Report Share Posted May 11, 2009 'Ristal- I would stop giving the multi-vitamin w/fluoride and look for a good multi that doesn't have that in there.

Guest guest Posted May 12, 2009 Report Share Posted May 12, 2009 Try a different product. NourishLife has speak a Omega-3 vitamin combination that works very well. Visit www.apraxiaresearch.com or www.speechnutrients.com they have a patented formulation that is proving beneficial to children who have not shown results in other supplements. > > Unfortunately I haven't seen results either.
