Haha well do you want to know what's totally disgusting? My crazy grandma (she's all big into health food and such) actually will take a handful of fish oils (and whatever other kinds of oils she takes) and CHEWS on the capsules till they break and then spits the capsule back out once she's mushed all the oil out of it! Ew!

Eh? Why doesn't she just get it in liquid form?

oh - that does NOT sound appetizing at all! YUCK! I'm with hells, she should just buy the liquid version and take it by the spoonful - probably cheaper that way as well!

I'm taking the trader joes fish oil 2 caps per day. My stomach has been kinda weird and I just got to thinking since I've been taking it for the past 3 weeks has anyone else noticed stomach upset/runs with taking fish oil? I switched my probiotics from 1 strain to the fem dophilus which covers more vaginal flora so I initially thought it was the probiotic but maybe it's the fish oil that's making me feel unwell.

Hmm, maybe try stopping it for a few days/week, see if anything changes? If not, see if you can rule anything else out. Are you trying a new tea/coffee, new foods you're eating often, etc.?

Earlier this year when my neurologist ran a bunch of tests, some of my inflammation markers were really high. I saw another doctor recently who ran the same tests and everything was back to normal. I totally give credit to the fish oil for helping me with this. It really worked!! Whatever inflammatory process was happening is now under control. I'll be on fish oil forever now. I'm totally convinced.

A coworker today started a random conversation with me today about fish oil tablets. He asked if I ever took them, told me his wife made him see a naturopath when they were trying to get pregnant and she made him take fish oil pills. He said he had a hard time with them because he constantly burped up the gross fish oil. We talked about this for about 5 minutes and then I asked him, "Why did you bring this up?" His answer was: "I just had a really big nasty burp and it reminded me of fish oil burps." Gave us both a good laugh!
Glad your markers are normal again, that must be a huge relief!!
