low efa's on testing/fish allergy XPost

[Guest guest]

Just got back IGg allergy testing through our gp for dd. She has a low

(+1) reaction to salmon (also avocado and pecan). Her labcorp testing

showed low levels of efa's (this is what he said, i can't actually

find it on the test). She continues with constipation, large stools.

I wonder if anyone has dealt with a similar situation? We have an

appt with her DAN in a couple of weeks. Her GP recommends dropping

the fish oil (4 caps daily of nordic ultimate omega, 2 caps green

pasture clo)and seeing if there is GI improvement (assuming salmon is

in the same family as anchovies and sardines, which this efa is made

of) , then possibly trying a seaweed derived efa? He is not a

proponent of flaxseed oil.

Any input wd be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

When I first added EFAs, my son became horribly constipated. EFAs

require magnesium for proper absorption. My son also required mito

cocktail and a few other supps. As an example, I had to start with

EPO [he also required preloading]. For four drops of EPO, my son

required an extra 1000mg magnesium to prevent constipation.

I could not give my son anything containing Omega 3 until I had

preloaded him with Omega 6 for several weeks. I went from EPO [Omega

6], to flax [Omega 3,6,9], and only then could he tolerate fish [Omega 3].

Consider hemp oil or flaxseed oil or flax/evening primrose/borage oil.
