questions re Fish oils and NV and nutrivene--5 yo w/ Down syndrome and dyspraxia

[Guest guest]

Hi,

My son Nate has Down syndrome and severe dyspraxia. I have been giving him fish

oil--Nordic peach flavored at least 1/2 tsp per day mixed in a smoothie.

When I was pregnant I was taking Reliv---and when Nate was born he did awesome

and was very healthy. Subsequently, I had heard that Nutrivene was a great

supplement for children w/ Down syndrome, yet talked to several moms all over

the country who switched from Nutrivene to Reliv for taste issues and felt it

worked great. Moving to FL, it was taboo to discuss nutritional supplementation

for children w/ Down syndrome within our local DS support group. Sadly, a local

hospital refused to give out our literature if there was anything about

nutritional supplementation. Yet, the national DS organization is revisiting

this issue--I think the research is finally getting through to the medical

establishment that nutritional supplements help children with Down syndrome.

Hearing all the wonderful reports about Nutriveda---I am wondering how it

compares to Reliv or Nutrivene? I have gotten out of the habit of

supplementing w/Reliv. Yet, am revisiting the issue myself. If there are any

moms who supplement for a child w/ Down syndrome and dyspraxia I'd be interested

in your choices.

Thanks,

Colleen
