Fish Oil Problem..

[Bouncer]

Started taking it again and now I remember why I stopped. It gives me heartburn and burps that taste like I just ate a raw salmon. I took 1 gram with a meal and it is still as bad as ever. Anyway to stop the heartburn from this?

Switch to flaxseed capsules...

There's also fish oil that they make that is odor less and gets rid of the fish burps.

From what I understand, fish oil is the better source of EFA's..

I think the difference is very minimal.

I have the same problem. I take the caps in the middle of my meal. I put some food in my stomach, then take the caps, then finish the meal. That seems to eliminate the burps for me.

supposidely you have to buy the higher quality fish oil tabs. they disolve slower instead of the bulk cheap shit i aways buy. has something to do with the encapsulation.

The better EFA's wasn't worth the fish burps for me and I just use flax.

well i took a fish oil cap this morning and have had no burps so far. hopefully it will stay that way.

Did you do anything different?

[Bouncer]

not really, took 2 today so far and have had no problems!

I have some god awful gas when I take a lot of fish oil. No burps though.

Keep your bottle of fish oil caps in the freezer. I can't remember where I read to do this but, it seems to help with the burps.

[Bouncer]

how many fish oil caps do you guys take a day?

[Curls4dGirls]

10 - 15 caps / day depending on the mix of meals for that day. For example, grilled chicked and sweet potatos only has 3 g of fat. So, I add 5 or 6 fish oil caps to that meal. If I eat a meal with salmon or beef, I don't add any fish oil caps.
