Reaction To Omega 3 Capsules

I was leery to try Omega 3 capsules, since I had such a reaction to tuna 6 weeks ago. My ND assured me that since there was no protein in fish oil, it shouldn't be a problem. Wrong. This is not the first time she has asked me to try something I had doubts about that has made me sick!

 

I was feeling good today until I tried one Omega 3 cap. Now I have nausea, headache, sore throat, irritated eyes, ear and sinus pain, some dizziness.

 

Has anyone else had this experience?

I wouldn't take advice from that person any more.  You can get omega 3's from flaxseed oil, it is also readily available in capsules.

Thank you, I didn't know about flaxseed oil capsules. I agree with you, time to find someone better qualified to help me in the future. I was feeling great, and I still feel sick today from that one capsule yesterday.

I haven't been able to tolerate supplements for the past three years or so : (

 

Wish I could at least get pro-biotic and a few key nutrients in me.

No supplements, really, not even a probiotic :( so sorry to hear that. That is just too unfair!

 

What kind of symptoms do you get when you try them, probably different depending on the supplement.

 

I hope that changes for you at some point... I am going to be sending you positive energy that it will :)

Oh, you can also get flax oil in loose form, I think I usually see it refrigerated.  But I find it easier to remember to take the capsules

I was getting better and that one fish oil capsule completely messed me up. My C was resolving now it's back, along with my anxiety. I still feel sick. Here's hoping this passes quickly. It takes very little to throw my body off and keeps happening over and over. I can't believe how sensitive I still am inside. Maybe I'll feel better tomorrow.

I'm sorry that you're feeling so sick! :(

 

Can you tolerate chia seed? That is a great source of Omega 3's.

Thanks you guys!

 

I feel better today than yesterday :) Hoping the digestive part resolves soon, too soon to tell.

 

I have to look up flax and chia seeds to find out if I can tolerate them or not. I'm waiting until I recover completely from this current thing to try anything else. You know how that goes...

Unfortunately...only too well.

 

I would not trial anything for at least a week -- maybe longer -- I know what is like to be trying healthy things only to have major setbacks.

 

Hang in there :)

I had a problem with tuna and fish oil capsules.  It turns out that most canned fish and meats contain broth which contains soy and I react strongly to soy.  Regarding Omega 3, try chia seeds or chia capsules.  They are loaded with Omega 3 oil.

Thanks :) Good to know. I have avoided soy all along since it's a potential problem food for so many, and because of the GMO factor. I don't think the tuna I was eating had soy. It was Wild Planet tuna from a health food store. I think they are really good about listing all the ingredients, but I can't say for sure.

 

It's more complicated for me, I have a histamine intolerance now so that's why I have had such a bad reaction to canned fish, and now fish oil. Unfortunately I have to be super careful. This is day six being sick from the fish oil. I feel better today, but my digestive system is still not happy. It will be a while before I can try chia, but I'm glad to know it's available in capsules.

      Sore muscles

      By Eldene · Posted

      I walk fast for fitness, 4 to 6 km per day. I am also 74 years old. Apart from the Celiac challenge, my lifestyle is healthy. I had a sciatiac nerve pinching under my one foot, with inflamation in my whole shin. It was almost cured, when the other shin started paining and burning. I do stretches, use a natural cooling gel and rest my feet. Can Celiac cause muscle pains/inflamation, or is it just over-excercising?

      Trader Joe's grocery prodcuts

      By LovintheGFlife · Posted

      I recently started shopping at a nearby Trader Joe's store. I was surprised at the number and variety of (healthy) gluten-free options sold there. I must admit their low prices are also quite tempting. However, I am curious as to the labeling on all their packages. While none of their products are certified as gluten-free, many are identified as 'GLUTEN FREE' on the packaging. Are these items safe for celiacs? Has anyone tried Trader Joe's products and have there been any adverse reactions?

      Gluten challenge

      By Beverley Ann Johnson · Posted

      HI, my doctor suggested one week of consuming gluten before blood tests.  I have been gluten free for 3 years.  Has anyone been through this and will I get exact results after one week of consuming gluten?  I don't even know if I can do this, if I get sick I am not sure if I can continue, any suggestions??  Thanks in advance.

      Not Sure What to Think

      By trents · Posted

      PPI's can be a wonderful healing agent when used as prescribed on the label which I believe recommends use of up to 8 weeks. But they are like antibiotics in that they are overprescribed and undermonitored. Docs generally prescribe them and then keep prescribing them because they take care of immediate symptoms so well. Physicians are more into treating symptoms than uncovering causes.
