My son started out a normal healthy baby. About age one, he got sick and was given Omnicef which destroyed the good bacteria in his gut. He ended up with c.difficile, a very hard to combat tummy problem. I gave him probiotics and lots of yogurt, acidolphlus milk, got rid of apple juice, etc. 7 months later, we found out that he was developmentally delayed. The c. difficle has now been gone, after a year of battling it. He had diarrhea/soft stools for all that time.
A few months ago, I noticed that he had quite a few grey hairs sprinkled in his hair. I looked it up and found a suggestion that it could be a vitamin b12 deficiency. That is definitely a possiblility, since he is a picky eater. I also find out that B12 is not readily absorbed by people with tummy problems (!), and deficiency could cause cognitive impairment! I have supplemented as well as possible and have noticed GREAT improvement in him, as well as his teachers. I want to find out more to help.
Here’s information on this exact question: http://www.drgreene.com/21_30.html I’d request that the tests mentioned in the article be done on your son so that any dietary supplementation can be approved through his physician.
It’s important that all testing is done so you don’t simply mask another health condition or disorder by supplementing with over the counter type products. If you’ve been giving supplements, make sure you tell the doctor this so the test results can be read with that information in mind.
It sounds like you’re on the right track… keep up the good work 
Omega-3 Fish Oil Supplement 1000mg 90softgels by Ultimate Nutrition The American Heart Association recommends eating fish (particularly fatty fish) at least two times a week. Fatty fish are high in two kinds of omega-3 fatty acids, eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). Many experts now urge taking fish oil softgels instead of loading up on fish that may be contaminated with mercury and other environmental toxins. Our ancestors’ dietary ratio of omega 3 to omega 6 fats was 1:1. Today, due to the decline in food quality and our diets in general, that ratio has fallen to 1:25. Taking fish oil as a supplement is recommended because it is very hard to obtain enough long chained omega 3 fats from diet alone to correct the imbalance between omega 3 and omega 6 fatty acids in our body. Eating fish several times a week is an essential part of any cholesterol-lowering plan. But believe it or not, eating fish regularly is still not enough. To get the amount of omega-3 fatty acids that, according to the latest research, can lower triglycerides, counter inflammation, reduce blood stickiness, and provide other heart benefits, it is beneficial to supplement your diet with a fish-oil supplement. Fish oil may have other advantages as well, such as strengthening immune function, improving LDL/HDL ratio, staving off depression, helping with allergies, countering inflammation in people with conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis and Crohn’s disease, and possibly helping stave off certain cancers. Other benefits worth noting are fish oil’s ability to lower blood pressure, slow blood clotting, and stave off type 2 diabetes in conjunction with statin drugs. In addition, fish-oil supplements appear to help regulate your heart’s electrical activity, lowering the risk of heart attack or sudden cardiac death from arrhythmias, or irregular heartbeats. EPA and DHA are very important for normal brain development, nervous system function, and eyesight. Most omega-3
