Fish Oil Problem..

[Bouncer]

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.

got ya. thanks

why eat the whole fish when you can have the oil?

where the fuk are you from...?

I think the difference is very minimal.

not really bro. fish oil is a direct source of EPA and DHA, flax is not. flax gives your body the ingredients to convert to EPA and DHA. the problem is, the body does this conversion very poorly and it many cases does not convert at all.

i recently started getting the Acid Reflux again from the fish oil. i did some searches on google and found that putting them in the freezer as poster #13 in this thread pointed out will prevent this. something about the caps breaking down before they even reach the stomach and thus causing acid reflux. by freezing them, the caps make it further down into the stomach and the reflux is eliminated. i am going to give this a try today,

there is also Enteric Coated Fish Oil caps. Basically the enteric coating is the same ph as the stomach acid and it doesn't break down. once it hits the non acidic environment of the small intestine, it breaks down immediately. this removes the chance of fish burps, acid reflux, and bloating.

i will give the freezer option a try first. if that doesn't work i will go with the enteric caps.

so far so good with the freezer thing. took 10 fish oil caps today and no burps or acid reflux.

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?

ive had some brands do this but brand im using now does not and its cheap.
