Let me start by saying Omega 3 with DHA is a miracle substance and absolutely everyone should be having a regular daily dose of it. It has helped everyone in the household, including me, to be more calm and easy going with each other. Now I will talk about supplements.
The wonderful doctor who suggested the possibility of dairy sensitivity, followed up after our milk experiment by recommending a series of supplements that include B6, B12, C, E and Omega 3. She has been diligently tracking his progress every 3 months.
Starting the vitamins was quite easy because there are tasty chewables available, but Omega 3 was alot more difficult. The only ones that taste good don't have much Omega in them and were loaded with sugar in gummy form, and I was already worried about his teeth.
I finally discovered Udo's DHA Oil toward the fall of 2009, and devised a daily smoothie with the Omega Oil in it, along with his calcium supplement, a liquid vitamin E, and probiotic powder.
I am giving this smoothie to both my children, morning and afternoon when they get home from school, and have noticed that even my older child has a more even temper, is more easy going, and that they both have a better appetite for their water and vegetables now! My 8 year old has even told me she "feels better"!
I honestly believe the supplements have been a key support in the recovery of my son's brain from the toxic effect that dairy was having all those years.
