Does Anyone Here Take Omega 3 Fish Oil Caps

I just starting taking EPA/DHA essentials from pure encapsulations. It has 1000 mg of fish oil concentrate. However, I'm feeling naucous. Its a medium level, all day feeling much like motion sickness if you ever had that. I don't like it and its has to be from this fish oil. I guess I've been eating healthy for quite a few years now so I don't have fried foods or fatty foods that I can connect this feeling to, although I remember getting sick from eating alot of chicken wings and someone mentioning its very high fat because your eating alot of chicken skin. I never ate them again.

Has anyone else expirence this taking fish oil? Did you continue to take it.

Thanks for any help with this.

Could this indicate a gall bladder issue?

I'm taking Costco brand Fish Oil caps 1000 mg. 2x daily. I haven't had any discomfort.

I take fish oil (liquid form) at around 7 grams a day (yes, grams) for anti-inflammatory purposes (the dosage has been tailored for me, I'm not trying to make recommendations), and don't experience nausea, but you might try different brands, and make sure that they're staying fresh (kept in the fridge, etc.)

I take Advanced Nutritional Technology SuperEPA 2000 Natural Fish Oil Concentrate, 1000 mg and I take 2/day. I haven't had any nausea problems with it from the beginning. My hubby's cardio doc recommended them to him and when I wanted to try them for general health, I started taking them. They have EPA and DHA. I don't keep them in the fridge but we get them by mail order. My hubby was taking cod liver oil and gave himself a case of osteopenia from overdoing it. The doc explained that you want a lab grade fish oil that doesn't have vitamin A and to watch out for cheap oils because they sometimes have mercury.

It has helped my arthiritis and my cholesterol/triglycerides are in a good spot. But I eat heart healthy anyway (EVOO or Benecol instead of butter).

I don't understand. What's the link between your hubby's osteopenia and taking Cod liver oil? Isn't Cod liver oil an excellent natural source of vitamin D which is good for you bones?

Yes, it is an excellent natural source of vitamin D but it also is high in vitamin A and according to Hubby's doc, too much vitamin A can weaken bones. He was taking liquid cod liver oil and not measuring it, just drinking it from the bottle. Add in eating large romaine lettuce salads ( Open Original Shared Link [check vitamin A level for one head]) and cold water fish, he managed to take too much for several years and wound up with osteopenia. Fortunately, he was able to rebuild his bones with just stopping the vitamin A and taking calcium supplements. It was a lesson to me to find out the upper limits on the nutritional supplements I take.

Vitamin A overdose and toxicity

An vitamin A overdose can be harmful to bones and skin, causing weakness and brittleness, even leading to fatigue and vomiting. ...

For those 19 and older, the tolerable upper limit for vitamin A consumption has been set at 10,000 IU per day.

I take Carlsons no problems. I would stay away from types like Costco. Carlsons and Nordic naturals are the best and gauranteed no heavy metals.

I use Carlson's fish oil and/or cod liver oil. I use the liquid though. I tried the capsules and they didn't work for me. I use the fish oil in the summer when I am getting vitamin D from the sun and cod liver oil in the winter when I am not out in the sun as much.

I'm guessing it's either an issue with my gall bladder or maybe just this brand. Last night we went out to eat and I ordered the grilled salmon. I can eat about 5 oz. of salmon, vinagrette on my salad and butter on my potato and not feel sick like I did with one capsule of the salmon oil. I'm pretty sure 1,000 mg, is like 4 oz of salmon. So I guess my next step would be to try a different brand.

I don't want to give up on this because I know the benefits of omega 3 are phenomenal. Thanks to those who commented.

I am severely allergic to salmon so I take a fish oil product by Spectrum that has oil from anchovies, mackerel and sardines. My sister has high cholesterol and dad has had 2 heart attacks so I think supplementing is a wise thing to do.

I was taking Wholemega by New Chapter which caused bruising and nosebleeds after 3 weeks. They went right in the trash. I never had bruising or bleeding problems before...or since. From what I understand, this is not an unusual side effect of fish oil supplements.

      Diagnosed celiac for 1-2 months ago and everything makes me bloated.

      By Beverage · Posted

      I had a very rough month after diagnosis. No exaggeration, lost so much inflammatory weight, I looked like a bag of bones, underneath i had been literally starving to death. I did start feeling noticeably better after a month of very strict control of my kitchen and home. What are you eating for breakfast and lunch? I ignored my doc and ate oats, yes they were gluten free, but some brands are at the higher end of gluten free. Lots of celics can eat Bob's Red Mill gluten-free oats, but not me. I can now eat them, but they have to be grown and processed according to the "purity protocol" methods. I mail order them, Montana Gluten-Free brand. A food and symptoms and activities log can be helpful in tracking down issues. You might be totally aware, but I have to mention about the risk of airborne gluten. As the doc that diagnosed me warned . . Remember eyes, ears, nose, and mouth all lead to your stomach and intestines.  Are you getting any cross contamination? Airborne gluten? Any pets eating gluten (they eat it, lick themselves, you pet them...)? Any house remodeling? We live in an older home, always fixing something. I've gotten glutened from the dust from cutting into plaster walls, possibly also plywood (glues). The suggestions by many here on vitamin supplements also really helped me. I had some lingering allergies and asthma, which are now 99% gone. I was taking Albuterol inhaler every hour just to breathe, but thiamine in form of benfotiamine kicked that down to 1-2 times a day within a few days of starting it. Also, since cutting out inflammatory seed oils (canola, sunflower, grapeseed, etc) and cooking with real olive oil, avocado oil, ghee, and coconut oil, I have noticed even greater improvement overall and haven't used the inhaler in months! It takes time to weed out everything in your life that contains gluten, and it takes awhile to heal and rebuild your health. At first it's mentally exhausting, overwhelming, even obsessive, but it gets better and second nature.

      Protein or fat?

      By Jsingh · Posted

      Hi,  I care for my seven year old daughter with Celiac. After watching her for months, I have figured out that she has problem with two kinds of fats- animal fat and cooking oils. It basically makes her intestine sore enough that she feels spasms when she is upset. It only happens on days when she has eaten more fat than her usual every day diet. (Her usual diet has chia seeds, flaxseeds, and avocado/ pumpkin seeds for fat and an occasional chicken breast.) I stopped using cooking oils last year, and when I reintroduced eggs and dairy, both of which I had held off for a few months thinking it was an issue of the protein like some Celiac patients habe mentioned to be the case, she has reacted in the same fashion as she does with excess fats. So now I wonder if her reaction to dairy and eggs is not really because of protein but fat.   I don't really have a question, just wondering if anyone finds this familiar and if it gets better with time.  Thank you.

      High Cost of Gluten-Free Foods

      By Chanda Richard · Posted

      Hello, My name is Chanda and you are not the only one that gose through the same things. I have found that what's easiest for me is finding a few meals each week that last. I have such severe reactions to gluten that it shuts my entire body down. I struggle everyday with i can't eat enough it feels like, when I eat more I lose more weight. Make sure that you look at medication, vitamins and shampoo and conditioner also. They have different things that are less expensive at Walmart.

      Frequent nausea after gluten-free diet

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much! I saw some tips around the forum to make a food diary and now that I know that the community also struggles with corn, egg and soy, the puzzle pieces came together! Just yesterday I tried eating eggs and yes, he’s guilty and charged. Those there are my 3 combo nausea troublemakers. I’m going to adjust my diet ☺️ Also thank you for the information about MCAS! I’m from South America and little it’s talked about it in here. It’s honestly such a game changer now for treatment and recovery. I know I’m free from SIBO and Candida since I’ve been tested for it, but I’m still going to make a endoscopy to test for H. Pylori and Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). Thank you again!! Have a blessed weekend 🤍

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.
