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?

      Cold/flu or gluten poisoning?

      Cold/flu or gluten poisoning? Hello. I've had another similar episode. I find it very difficult to differentiate between the symptoms of a cold or flu and those caused by gluten poisoning. In fact, I don't know if my current worsening is due to having eaten something that disagreed with me or if the cold I have has caused my body, which is hypersensitive...

      Celiac disease symptoms

      I'm no longer dealing with constipation. I got my liver test last month and it was in normal range. Two years ago I did have a vitamin D deficiency but I'm know taking vitamin D3 pills. Last month I got my vitamin D checked and it was in normal range. I don't believe I've had my choline checked. However, I do drink almond milk eat Greek yogurt on a daily...

      Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS) can be associated with low ferritin and iron deficiency. Once Celiac Disease (1% of the population affected) has been ruled out by tests the next step is to check for Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (10% of the population affected) by eliminating gluten for a trial period, then re-introduce Gluten Challange.

      If you have hemorrhoids 1x weekly I don't see how you have time to heal from one episode before you experience another one, unless each one is a very minor event. Have you consulted a physician about your hemorrhoid issue? It's not normal to be having an episode every week unless it is really one episode that is not completely healing between weekly...

      Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS) can be associated with low ferritin and iron deficiency. Once Celiac Disease (1% of the population affected) has been ruled out by tests the next step is to check for Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (10% of the population affected) by eliminating gluten for a trial period, then re-introduce Gluten Challange. Have you been supplementing Iron? How are your liver enzymes? Low levels of ferritin indicate iron deficiency, while  59% transferrin saturation indicates high iron levels.  Possibly indicating Fatty Liver Disease.  Choline is crucial for liver health, and deficiency is a known trigger for Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver.  Some experts say that less than 10% eat the the Food and Nutrition Board established Adequate Intake that are based on the prevention of liver damage. Severe constipation and hemorrhoids may be linked to a bile or choline deficiency.  "Ninety-five percent of phospholipids (PLs) in bile is secreted as phosphatidylcholine or lecithin."  Fatty acid composition of phospholipids in bile in man   Deficiency of these bile salts causes the bile to get thick. Some people with Celiac Disease are misdiagnosed with Gall Bladder bile issues.  Removal of the gallbladder provides only temporary relief. Whether or not celiac disease or NCGS are your issues you need to look at your vitamin D blood level.
