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.

      Gluten Free Cannabis Edibles

      By ShadowLoom · Posted

      I’ve used tinctures and made my own edibles with gluten-free ingredients to stay safe. Dispensary staff don’t always know about gluten, so I double-check labels or just make my own.

      Damage after 13 years gluten free

      It's great to hear that there are some good doctors out there, and this is an example of why having a formal diagnosis can definitely be helpful.

      Update: I have a wonderful new gastroenterologist. She wants to be sure there’s nothing more serious, like refractory celiac, going on. She ordered various tests including some micronutrient tests that no one has ever ordered before.  I’m deficient in folate and zinc and starting supplements for both. I’m so glad I decided to go to a new GI!

      Autoimmune diseases tend to cluster. Many of them are found close together on the chromosomes.

      Struggling to get into a good pattern

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      Just giving another update... I was referred to rheumatology, and they suspect that I may also be dealing with fibromyalgia (it has not been formally diagnosed, but just suggested at this point).  So, I am continuing with the anti-inflammatory diet and vitamins and still working to keep getting rid of all these hidden gluten sources, but I also do have another possible explanation for some of the issues that I'm dealing with.
