long chain fatty acid problem

[Guest guest]

Dear list mates,

My daughter is presently awaiting urine test results out of CHOP (Children's

Hospital of Phila.) to test for a metabolic disorder of long/short chain

fatty acid digestion problem. She has always had a problem digesting

anything with oils and certain fats which cause her to become aggressive and

self abusive after eating. In the meantime, does anyone have any suggestions

to help me help her while awaiting these results? Besides avoiding certain

problem foods and oils, I do use various digestive enzymes and have started

using Lypo Gold from Enzymedica for any foods whose fat content is a

problem. However, they don't seem to work for absorption of essential fatty

acids like Omega 3's or DHA.

Thank you in advance to anyone who has already addressed this problem with

their child or has info to pass on to me.

My best,
