Guest guest Posted May 21, 2009 Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 I wonder about this as well.? I tried squeezing the oil into a spoon and that went over horribly.? I mixed it into peanut butter yesterday and that seemed to work. We use 2 EFA and 1 EPA capsules. Kristie [ ] Adding More Fish Oil? I've searched the archives and am still unclear, so here is another fish oil question for you... My son who turned 3 in April, dx of apraxia coupled with sensory seeking behavior and hypotonia, began fish oil in February. With one capsule ProEFA, we saw improved concentration and some reduced sensory behaviors with some very minor improvements in speech attempts and production. In March I added a second ProEFA, which we administer in a cup of Apple juice each morning. Again progress has continued but is painstakingly slow. Recently his sensory seeking behaviors have returned with greater frequency. My understanding is the next step is to add the ProEPA capsule. Two to one ratio. Since my delivery method in juice results in lost oils adhering to the cup should I be adding additional capsules? Do you continue to add additional capsules as the child plateaus or is two ProEFA and 1 ProEPA the more appropriate dosage for a young child about 36 lbs? Appreciate any help.

Guest guest Posted May 22, 2009 Report Share Posted May 22, 2009 Thanks, Kristie. I'll try the peanut butter idea. When you added the EPA did you notice any additional behavioral or speech changes? I'll stay with two EFA and add the one EPA for now. I guess the question still remains, are there others out there who continue to increase the dosage from there? If I find administering thru juice works best for us, has anyone tried adding two & 1/2 caps to compensate for lost oil? If so, will the remaining half cap of oil keep until the next day?
