Fish oil making me sick

[gorgeousfrankenstein]

Okay, so I've been choking this stuff down for the last month and it's giving me the worst indigestion/gas/fish belching stomach upset that I've ever had from a supplement.
I tried lowering the doseage to just one tablespoon per day. No luck.
Tried switching to the liquid capsules that are supposed to be ultra filtered, lemon flavored blahh blahh blahh. The stuff still makes me ill.

Is there a special brand or type that everyone is taking and I didn't get the memo?

Freeze them & they wont melt till they are further down your intestinal tract.

This work great for me. If you got extra money to throw away you can try the chewables.

I used to have that fish oil burp situation going on...

But I switched to Nordic Naturals and haven't had that happen since.

I think olive oil is recommended by quite a few experts as well. Phil Hernon mentioned that to me some time ago.

I was using flax at the time and he gave me some reasons to switch to olive oil.

Anyway, you've got some options.

Nordic Naturals is excellent as is Carlson's, which has a slight lemon flavor and no fish taste...very pleasant and easy to take.

This is exactly what i also do! It works really well for me.

Try enteric coated fish oil caps.

 

[Jarconis]

try safflower oil, its completely tasteless and odorless, its the bomb.com

Thanks everyone, I'm going to try a few of these remedies to see if it helps out.
If I quit belching up rancid bilge water, my whole family will thank you

Froze my fish oil capsules AND took them with a little peanut butter. So Far So good, thanks Quadsmack, Tom and everybody else!

carlsons Cod Liver Oil - Lemon Flavor is really great! Doesnt taste like fish at all. has a really pleasant taste really.

The quality and purity of the product you are taking has a big impact on this.

Some other good pints that people mentioned are freezing the caps. I do this and take 8 per day all at once prior to bed. So even if they do upset you a little you will be sleeping and it won't bother you or anyone else.

I take the Sears brand Eco RX or something like that

 

[paulwigan]

take mine before bed so dont have to deal with it

 

[Paul Bunyan]

I use a brand called Res-Q(capsules) and have no problems. Carlson's is good too. Take them on an empty stomach about 1/2hr before a meal.

Check out the board sponsor www.platinumlabz.com
I've used about a 3 month supply of their Fish Oils with no problems.
Super duper cheap too. Maybe your taking too much???

I asked Dave P over at MD this question and he said you need to drink a great deal of water with these , not a mouth full but a lot. I found a 1/2 liter is great, more is better.

I now ( after sometime ) can take them with a mouth full of liquid and I have no problem.
