Tonight we launched Operation Omega. It did not start off very well.
What is Operation Omega? This is what we are calling our plan to add more Omega 3, 6 and 9 into Turkey's diet. When we received this Asperger's and ADHD diagnosis, or friends and family offered their advice: limit his sugar, go vegan, go gluten free, add more omegas.
I'm not a fan of limiting his sugar. In my few experiences around kids who are on limited sugar diets, and then they say go to a party; it's been a nightmare.
We did gluten free for a while when he was a toddler and the doctor thought he had Celiac's Disease. That as hard.
I can't do vegan, too much of a change and not really compatible with our family lifestyle right now.
So I looked into what affects the increase in omegas would have, and I felt this is a good route for us to take.
So I searched and searched and did my research and opted to buy Nordic Natural's Omega 3-6-9 Jr. They were suppose to be a chewable soft capsule and the bottle boosted a great lemon taste. None of the reviews I read on-line prepared me for these. Chewable is a joke? And they taste like lemon, until you get that hit you in the face fish taste, YUCK!!!
Turkey could not take them. So now I need to figure out how to get him to take them. But it's a start....
