Fish Oil

[Xrayted]

I had that problem too, even with the enteric ones that aren't supposed to open until they hit your intestines. I was burping (and then the other end ) nasty fish and it was horrible. I couldn't live with it. So, now I take flax seed capsules. Same omega-3's without the fish. If one bursts in my mouth when I have a hot drink, no bad taste. Check it out.

Nope, not the same. See post #15 here: http://forums.teamestrogen.com/showt...highlight=fish

Try freezing your capsules and see if that helps with the burpies.

I just bought some of the Udo's Choice 3-6-9 today and am looking forward to trying it. I seem to have chronic tendinitis/inflammation problems every 6 months or so (usually in my neck/upper back and my achilles. Doctors cannot find anything wrong with me. I tried getting more protein and that didn't seem to work over the long haul (I started eating chicken after being a vegetarian for years). I know I am probably not getting my essential oils, so why not give it a try! Right now I have a third bout of achilles inflammation going on and I am hoping my home rehab program and nutrition will help it go away. I'll let you all know what I think of the Udo's after I use it for a while.

I take my capsules at night just before bed. No burping of fishyness while I sleep and by morning I'm good to run around again. Taking them in the morning increased the risk of fishy burps. The other thing I found was, if I took too much of it the fishy burps got worse. I now only take one capsule (100mg cod liver oil) and I'm all good.

I also used to have to take spoonfuls of the liquid stuff as a kid. Horrible horrible stuff! But my dad still swears by it and has his spoonful every morning along with a spoonful of liquid multivitamin stuff.

I take "Carlson's Super Omega 3" softgels. I take one at night before I go to bed. No problem at all with fish burps and I sleep like a baby. I also take a multivitamin, calcium pill, flaxseed oil softgel, and soy tablet at the same time as I take the fish oil softgel.

I am feeling great these days, and I am convinced that these supplements are helping, along with a healthy diet and exercise.

Anyway, just my two cents.

P.S. My personal physician is a naturopath, and I take these under his supervision. I am on no other medications - just these supplements.

Hey uk - I'm guessing your dad is taking the classic Norwegian combo of tran+Sanasol? You might want to give him a heads up that he's getting a double dosage of the vitamins they add to tran, think it's A, D and E. My dr told me to avoid extra dosages of these, apparently one shouldn't take too much of them as the fatsoluble vitamins get "deposited" in the body.

(I have no idea what devastating effects it might have, though )

Hmmm, taking them at bedtime sounds like a good trick.

Thanks for the advice ladies!

I take Nordic Naturals. You can buy them with lemon or strawberry flavoring that eliminates that fishiness. You can also get the flavored oil rather that capsules.
