Breaking on in here. I've found good results with Carlson's Lemon Flavored Cod Liver Oil. It's high grade purified non-rancid good tasting oil with the correct ratio of EPA to DHA's for mood disorders. For brain health you need at least 9grams and taking it via liquid (approx 1 T morning and eve) is a whole lot easier than a fistfull of capsules that may not be fresh. You need to keep the liquid in the fridge, or even the freezer. I get mine at www.iherb.com cause it's really cheap. Thanks for the 'take it with fat' advice, Lar. Didn't know that.
For the gut thing, it's a huge issue (no pun intended). I also have gut permeability and am on a long road back to healing it. I've cut down on gluten foods. Even though I don't have celiac, the word is that gluten can irritate and damage the intestinal cilia anyway. I take a product called 'Primal Defense' which has some mongo intestinal flora growth attributes. As my hormonal levels get stabilized (my recent hormonal panel from my naturopath was very unbalanced and scary), all will begin to coalesce. You might also give coral calcium a try. It has all minerals in an absorbable whole food form, along with good levels of magnesium.
