Fish Oil Burps
Posted: 01-30-08 13:53pm

I have been told by a PA to take 1200 Fish Oil to lower my cholestrol, and it works! My problem is I burp a terrible taste that makes me gag....is there anything that will make me burp less or make it taste less like poo?

I read about this because I suffer from the gagging when I take it. I can't imagine taking it without coating! Ick!

I put mine in the freezer. I don't know how much it 'helps' but it certainly doesn't hurt to keep all that fishy ickiness inside it. Another thing is to get the kind that is 'enteric' coated. It is a thicker coating that doesn't cause fishy burps. You can find some pills that actually say, "NO fishy burps" (so I've read, I just take the enteric coated kind).

I scoop mine out of the container with a spoon because the smell on my hands = gag. Afterwards, I eat a mint. I'm a huge baby! Smile

Whenever I take them I imagine how ROTTEN it must have been to have a spoonful of cod liver oil every time you were sick. Blech. Glad that isn't the 'cure all' anymore!
