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.

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      The one kind of food I had been buying and eating without any worry for hidden gluten were unprocessed veggies. Well, yesterday I discovered yet another pitfall: cultivated mushrooms. I tried some new ones, Shimeji to be precise (used in many asian soup and rice dishes). Later, at home, I was taking a closer look at the product: the mushrooms were growing...

      how much gluten do I need to eat before blood tests?

      I might suggest you consider buckwheat groats. https://www.amazon.com/Anthonys-Organic-Hulled-Buckwheat-Groats/dp/B0D15QDVW7/ref=sr_1_4_pp?crid=GOFG11A8ZUMU&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.bk-hCrXgLpHqKS8QJnfKJLKbKzm2BS9tIFv3P9HjJ5swL1-02C3V819UZ845_kAwnxTUM8Qa69hKl0DfHAucO827k_rh7ZclIOPtAA9KjvEEYtaeUV06FJQyCoi5dwcfXRt8dx3cJ6ctEn2VIPaaFd0nOye2TkASgSRtdtKgvXEEXknFVYURBjXen...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that y...

      The one kind of food I had been buying and eating without any worry for hidden gluten were unprocessed veggies. Well, yesterday I discovered yet another pitfall: cultivated mushrooms. I tried some new ones, Shimeji to be precise (used in many asian soup and rice dishes). Later, at home, I was taking a closer look at the product: the mushrooms were growing from a visible layer of shredded cereals that had not been removed. After a quick web research I learned that these mushrooms are commonly cultivated on a cereal-based medium like wheat bran. I hope that info his helpful to someone.

Incidentally, I don't like quinoa either. Reminds me and smells to me like wet grass seed. When its not washed before cooking it makes me ill because of saponins in the seed coat. Yes, it can be difficult to get much dietary calcium without dairy. But in many cases, it's not the amount of calcium in the diet that is the problem but the poor uptake of it. And too much calcium supplementation can interfere with the absorption of vitamins and minerals in general because it raises gut pH.

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.
