" Hi
My son has Efalex (in the UK), VegEPA (from ebay!) and multi vitamins with omega 3. If you don't want to take a vitamin then you can get it from flaxseed and walnuts as well as oily fish (like salmon), and it doesn't make you 'fat'. If you google 'omega 3' you will get lots of good info... Try and work on the annorexia issue though, stay healthy and good luck... "
