I have supplemented DHA her entire life I don't know if it "helps" anything but it doesn't hurt anything either! All the research I have seen seems to point in the helps category.

DHA is an Omega-3 fatty acid found in fish oil supplements or naturally occurring in fatty fish (most common are tuna and salmon). It's very good for heart health, immune system, brain function and a host of other things. I've even heard of research linking it to improvement in things like ADD. If you and your family don't eat fish very frequently you may want to consider supplements, as research is showing more and more that omega-3s are vitally important to our health. It's especially helpful for babies and children because it helps with brain development.

I have also found more research on it recently that states it helps children with dry skin and poss. even eczama. I started it about 2 weeks ago on my son. Just wanted to see what everyone thought about the use of it.

My five yo eats a lot of fish but this is worth considering as he has horrible eczema. I was hoping it would clear up after going gluten-free but it actually seems worse. Thanks for the info.

My pediatrician suggested using it to control her moodiness. We have only been taking it a couple of weeks, but I think it has helped with this. Can't hurt to try it out.

jmjs- I know how you feel with the eczama. My 5 year old has it severly also. We have it mostly under control now. (only took 5 years) Now he was under control all winter, (only winter ever by the way) and we only started going gluten fee about 3 weeks ago keep in mind, the first time he got glutend it all came back with a vengence! When I cut it out again, skin cleard up. Now he is on medication for it, but it did not control the flare up from gluten. ( he is on allegra- fexofedidine) Now my allergist said if the med did not work he would need to go on uv therepy thats how bad it was. I have not attempted to take him off yet, but i may in a few months, just to see how much of it was gluten. Do you know what triggers your childs?

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      Thanks, I’m still dealing with the pain and tingling and itching and feeling like bugs or something crawling around on my face and scalp. It’s been a miserable experience. I saw my eye doc last week, the eye itself was okay, so they didn’t do anything. I did take a 7 day course of an antiviral. I’m hoping for a turnaround soon! My life is full of stress ...

      I don't think any apps are up to date, which is exactly why this happened to you. Most of the data in such apps is years old, and it doesn't get updated in real time.

      What is the best gluten free scanner app? I have the "gluten-free Scanner" app. I scanned an almond joy and it says it contains gluten when the package is labeled gluten free

My life is full of stress but I have been on / off the gluten free diet for the last year , after being talked into going back on gluten to have a biopsy, that looked okay. But I do have positive antibody levels that have been responsive  to a gluten free diet. I can’t help but wonder if the last year has caused all this.

Ultimately there is no substitution for learning to read labels. The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. It's very important to learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know some general information about product labelling--for example in the USA if wheat is a possible allergen it must be declared on a product's ingredient label like this: Allergens: Wheat.
