Sorry for all of the errors. I am sooooooo tired. = )

I found that with Olive oil last year when my older son had a B.B. lodged into his ear. The research said to use special oil, but the pharmacist assured me that good virgin oil was the same. I have a hard time to get the common fish oil into Oli. He is quite particular. Any suggestion on how to get a 3 year old to take fish oil, or is there a good substitute/ alternative?

I just checked the oil gel caps I bought and they contain all sorts of things, but the bottle says purified of the toxic things. I am really curious now. Thanks for bringing it up. Do you need a Rx. I think that you can get it at the phar, otc. Do you use it?

Hi Olismom. I put the oil from the capsul into a medicine cup and then mix it with white grape juice and tell Eric to shoot it back. I tried just mixing it in a juice glass with the white grape juice and it was fishy tasting still so I drank it myself. (My days dosage anyway) and just let Eric take it from the medicine cup. He knows he's taking medicine but I let him chase it with whatever he wants. Tea, coke, milk or water or even more white grape juice. I take the 1000 mg fish oil and so does he. I just heard about the prescription strength oil Lovaza from his occuptational therapist last Friday. I need to post the links to the articles I read about it and the oxytoxin. It's interesting stuff. Will go find the links for you right now.

p.s. I understand your frustration about being at a stand still in development. It's much better than regressions though right? That's what I tell myself when I can't see marked improvement for some time. Hopes this way of looking at it helps you feel some better.

Olismom,
I bet there isn't much difference at all between the Lovaza and reg. fish oils on the market. I just looked it up on the internet. I saw too what you were saying about other oils being greatly beneficial too. = ) Hope you have a good night and thanks so much for commenting.
hugs,
