You all are working so hard for your kids' health, bless your hearts! Just wanted to give some fantastic links and some little suggestions. My kids are grown up, so they take their cod liver oil in capsules, no problems. The burping may happen if your gallbladder is weak from not eating enough cholesterol, and the cod liver oil will fix that pretty soon. My grandkids started taking cod liver oil before they were weaned, and they love it and lick the spoon. When my daughter started buying the fermented cod liver oil, though, they fussed. It burns and is very fishy, but is better with a little salt, in my opinion, as it tastes like anchovies that way. So that leads to the first suggestion, and that is, if you make meatloaf -- which I do because we love it, and you can use it to disguise exceedingly nutritious organ meats, also -- it makes the meatloaf better if you have a slight taste of fish added, so you can smear it on the baked meatloaf, then pour on the catsup. Second suggestion is be sure you use the high vitamin cod liver oil. Blue Ice is the best brand. None of the others can compare to Blue Ice Fermented cod and skate liver oils. They also sell the butter oil, which if your family doesn't eat a LOT of butter and whole raw milk every day, will be very helpful.

I give cod liver oil to my younger daughter (she has autism). She just drinks it because I tell her she has to and I am always giving her nasty tasting medicines. My older one doesn't take it. I have tried candy as a bribe, but it seems kind of counter productive. My husband takes Fisol which is ecentric coated and doesn't taste fishy. If you could get your son to swallow a pill, this might help. I also use probiotics. You should read up on those. Those have seemed to clear up alot of my kids gastro issues. Good for you!

I would think that the oatmeal would absorb some of the oil so it wouldn't be as noticeable. I just wanted to share that I have started to eat a more healthy diet including drinking a LOT of water and in a matter of about 2 weeks, my gastro issues are pretty much gone. I'm not sure if it's the addition of all the roughage or if it's the water, but I thought I'd share in case it would help you out. Good luck!

I'm still up higher than normal, and I think it may be age. UGH. But then, I feel full a lot, even after not eating much, so I wonder if something's wrong. I'm supposed to get an endoscopy/colonoscopy. Joy. I am mainly doing this in hopes of helping my gastro issues and also my moods. I have awful PMS (PMDD?) and I would like to feel better naturally. As for my kids, I think one of them may have attention issues. Plus we have food allergies and excema and asthma. Cod liver oil is supposed to help with some of that. I'll definitely be keeping everyone posted! :-) No weight changes yet. I’m still up higher than normal, and I think it may be age. UGH.
