Certainly the supplement to begin with is Omega 3, either a high quality 
fish oil or flax oil.  THe fish oil that I recommend is Spectrum Norwegian 
Fish oil gel caps.  Mother takes 2-3 a day. Same with flax oil gel caps. 
These supplements will not interfere with her gall bladder challenges.

One gets to be the Zoo LC by having worked with the zoo keeper 6 years ago 
with her breastfeeding problems.  She remembered.

I will write more later today.
