Joskimo, we went to a naturophathic dr to get directions for the right amounts of omega oils for the kids. There are some brands for kids, but most don't list the amount for toddlers. These have been wonderful for my kids who can't swallow pills. They can take them in oil form, and it tastes good!, or in chewable gel caps, which are also nicely flavored.

HOWEVER, just in the skim of research that I've done, the statements are that there has not been any amount yet known that is 'too much'. Since the initial studies done were with the Inuit people, whose whole diet was primarily the fats themselves, from whale and seal, and they did not have adverse effects from eating that amount. So the current thought is that you can't OVER supplement. Of course you should still not take my word for it but do your own research.

Angelkisses, I joined a GF/CF recipe exchange group on Yahoo! They've been helpful, and have TONS AND TONS of recipes. We've also been attempting...hrumph...to do the Feingold Diet. This was pretty tough. If we can get it together we'll probably attempt that one again. We currently have gotten rid of most of the preservatives and some of the artificial additives, but that's pretty difficult at times. Some days it's no big deal, but then I'll get behind and have to do a rush on dinner and ... well, there goes that day! LOL We are about 40% organic, and maybe 30% unrefined. (If you ask some of our friends, though, they'll tell you that we are totally unrefined.) I make my own sauces, we use whole flours not enriched, we try to make things from scratch as much as possible...but I still haven't gotten to the point where I make our bread or that kind of thing. Maybe when the babies are out of diapers?? LOL
