Fish Oil and Burping

derekisdman · 11-26-2003, 12:49 PM

I just started taking some fish oil caps yesterday. I took three in the morning today and when I burp it's the worst taste ever

. For those who take the fish oil capsules do you suffer from this?

Leslie · 11-26-2003, 12:57 PM

Yes, but the good news is it only lasts a few days til your body gets used to it

derekisdman · 11-26-2003, 01:11 PM

Thank god, it's pure torture! How many caps do you take a day les?

Jill · 11-26-2003, 01:20 PM

Ive been taking fish oils for 1 and 1/2 months, and that still happens to me.

Oh ya, sometimes I have a fishy after taste in my mouth-I chew hella gum everyday!

derekisdman · 11-26-2003, 01:23 PM

And there go's my hopes down the drain

How do you put up with it? When I take the liquid flaxseed oil its pretty bad going down but after it's down it's done.

nikegurl · 11-26-2003, 01:32 PM

yep - fishy burps.

i take a total of 10 caps a day and this rarely happens to me but when it does....yuck!

derekisdman · 11-26-2003, 01:43 PM

Maybe i'll just take the majority of them before I go to bed so atleast i'm not concious for the outcome..

Jill · 11-26-2003, 01:46 PM

Gum, I chew a tonne of it!

why dont you guys take FLEX or HEMP oil instead ?!?!??!!

**IainDaniel** · 11-26-2003, 02:07 PM

Never Had the Fish Burps :dunno:

Fish oil contains EPA and DHA

Because mine are in my multi pack.

derekisdman · 11-26-2003, 02:47 PM

I take flax and will probably continue cause i don't know if I can stand the fish oil. I chewed on gum like crazy but it's lik the fish taste erupts right in my throat and gum can't cure it and it's disgusting.

Exactly Big B! The fish can have their fish oil

. Sounds to nasty to me to take. Blah!

Besides, I've gone all these years without it

plouffe · 11-26-2003, 02:58 PM

Yes it does taste like shit... poke a hole in it maybe before swallowing.. May help for some odd reason, i dont know what that reason is...

1: 2 cans tuna, 2 Tbs mayo, 1 cup red lettuce, onion, 2 slices ww bread, 4 fc's, 1 multi-vit

2: 2 scoops prot., 1 cup oats, 1 Tbs. PB, 1/2 nectarine, 4 fc's (learned a nasty lesson don't drink a shake, take fish caps on top and then drink a lot of water, all the fish caps dissolved in my esophagus and when I burped it was sick .....

That's an excerpt from my journal.

Take the pills before your meals so that they get forced all the way down.

Believe me you ain't had nothing till you've had that goo crawl back up onto your tongue, nothing will get rid of it's foul taste, it just clings there for hours

Darkkmind · 11-26-2003, 03:32 PM

I take 2 a day and have never had that problem.

Randy · 11-26-2003, 03:35 PM

This is why beer drinkers don't take fish oil caps

Imagine the beer to fish oil burps

HoldDaMayo · 11-26-2003, 08:22 PM

I heard the the way the fish oil in the capsules is pressed actually removes a good amount of the nutrients...

I prefer my EFA supplement with Flax and CLA

swolean · 12-03-2003, 01:25 PM

I've got some enteric coated fish oil pills that are supposed to stay un-dissolved until they reach the intestines. Been taking them for a couple of months and not had any probs.
Fisol, from Nature's Way.

sentricyphen · 12-03-2003, 01:37 PM

hemp taste pretty good really. kind of has a vegtable flavor, like peas. (but smells like weed)

im considering fish oil though. jodi has me convinced.

Randy · 12-03-2003, 04:15 PM

I always wondered why there are so many fish pill followers?
It's spreading like a plague

I'm sure they have some health benefits, but are they really that substantial? Are they worth the dreaded fish oil burps?

Here's an article I found from CNN regarding fish oil
Its from last year (maybe there is more recent benefits found)
http://www.cnn.com/2002/HEALTH/04/08/fish.heart/

Basically they are saying that it helps reduce the risk of sudden death in heart attach survivors.

Now if you have no history of heart problems, do you really need fish oil? What is the common reason for getting heart attacks and strokes? I believe unhealthy eating of fat and high cholestorol foods contribute greatly to this. Now most of the body builders here already eat pretty health I would say. So again, is it necessary to have fish oil? I wouldn't say so. Screw the fish oil burps..

No fish oil for me unless I see a much better reason to take them.

Big Baby · 12-08-2003, 09:32 PM

it still happens to me, i've been taking them for 18 or so months now. but i'm just sort of used to it. at first it drove me nuts. i find it's not as bad if i take them with one of my liquid meals.

Yes.

The EPA/DHA content is unmatched. Fish oil has every benefit of other EFAs, and it increases leptin sensitivity as well; thus, it has positive effects on body composition that flax, hemp, etc do not have.

It is particularly good when overfeeding for keeping fat gain minimal.

It is even more important for the endomorph to take fish oil.

The burps go away, or you have a terrible brand; try another. Also, taking them before you eat can help.

Randy · 12-08-2003, 10:33 PM

But again TP - for those that are slim and healthy working out consistantly, are the benefits of taking fish oil substantial enough to justify taking it?

Twin Peak · 12-08-2003, 10:39 PM

Justify? Its a low cost, easy to take supplement, with the only negatives being the burps, which should not be an issue, as I mention above.

So in sum, yes.
