I have seen a number of references to fish oil. I am interested in trying it with my 8yo, but he doesn't swallow pills. We have tried two orange flavored brands that he hated. Has anyone had success with certain brands or any tricks to hide the taste (we tried whipped cream and strong juice). Thanks.

You can also put ground flax seed on things (another source of Omegas). We've snuck into mac and cheese, pizza, etc. Works really well with pudding.

i have a 20 yr old adhd son now but when he was younger i put fish oil or omega oils in a smootie drink and that seemed to work because it is special drink for them and they can not taste it. you might be able to go to your health store and ask if the recommend a drink mix for you . primrose is also good for adhd children. but ask your health store owners if you trust them to help you, it is alot of trial and error but all you can do is try different things, my son was diagnosed when he was about 4 or 5 yrs old. you might also try the internet on adhd children to get information to. hope i could help

Thanks for all the info. Best use of those sugar pills in the birth control pack that I have heard of! We did find some lemon flavored liquid at Whole Foods that he is tolerating. He likes strawberry better, so I will look for those next time. Thanks.

GNC and other vitamin stores have a children's version that is chewable and strawberry flavored. It says Children's DHA on the label and is usually over near the children's vitamin section. My daughter loves them.

Will your child try to swallow pills? I have a nephew who will not even try to swallow a pill and he is 13. He gaggs and tries to throw up. I was just wondering because my son did not want to swallow pills, but then I explained to him that if he learned to swallow a pill he will not have to taste the gross flavor because in a pill there is no taste. He was willing to try then. I started with the sugar pills that are in my birth control packs. They are really small so I figured they would be the easiest way to learn. Once he learned to swallow these it seemed like he did not care what size the pill is. He was about 7 when he learned to swallow them.

juice or on peanut butter toast with a small amount of sugar on it seem to work
