Oh! NEVER take Fish Oil capsules if you're gonna burp!

[BiggJawn]

YAK! That tastes SO nasty!!!!
Man! It's like getting a mouthful of stagnant lake water!

1. Thanks.

:puke:

I don't want this anymore. *picks up dinner plate and throws it in the sink*

lol

[Rick Myers]

2. Oh No!!!!

I recall burping as a second grader with cod fish oil! The IMAGE is burned in my brain!!!

Change the subject!!!

[GreenPartyVoter]

3. Yep.. it's bad. All vitamin supplement vurps and burps are icky

[LoZoccolo]

4. Yeah, I take those too.

I asked my cardiologist if I could substitute olive oil, and she said something about a study about people in the mediterranean (and she seemed like, really on top of studies), but still didn't reccomend switching.

[LoZoccolo]

5. Aw man.

I can't read much of this, but it seems to say that olive oil is not as good:

9. It helps my arthritis

12. Olive oil works if you're Italian (like I am),

and have that amazing gene that allows you to consume cheese and all kinds of fats and still have "abnormally" low cholesterol, and blood pressure that barely registers.

But, it's not got the omega-3 that fish oil has. Hell, I take 'em. They are a wonderful mood stabilizer - there are studies showing that massive doses of fish oil seem to level out bi-polar patients, and my experience, from a distance, bears that out.

20. What levels people out is doing what that cat in your post is doing. nt

6. I take them everyday

The burps go away. Fish oil capsules are very good for you.

7. I lived in an apartment with common washing machines, and some

ass had left a capsule in the washer. I discovered this when I went to throw my clothes in the dryer. I had jeans that had a smell of fish for MONTHS.

[OldLeftieLawyer]

11. I did that with a terrycloth bathrobe

Had a fish oil capsule in there, threw it in the wash.

Threw the robe away.

Just disgusting.

[FuzzySlippers]

8. I just bought a bottle of those.

How much are you supposed to take?

[BiggJawn]

10. I take ONE!

More than that, and I might wake up some morning with a Salmon in my mouth freakin' ...

[OldLeftieLawyer]

13. How big are they?

I take 2,000 units a day.

I think that might be excessive, but no one's gonna live forever.

Besides, I like how the gills look on me ...........

[FuzzySlippers]

16. They're 1000 mg.

I'm kind of reluctant to start them because of the whole burping fish oil thing.

[OldLeftieLawyer]

17. Oh, don't be afraid

The burping thing is an aberration.

Take them after meals, don't get horizontal right away, and take them with lots of water.

One in the morning, one at night.

Besides, if you burp, think of all the salmon and flounder you'll have at your door, screaming, "OUR GREAT LEADER!!!!!!!!!!!" at you..............

[FuzzySlippers]

19. The last point is an inducement.

:D

[BuddhaGirl]

14. I don't burp them up it I take them in the middle of a meal

I also used to take the fish oil liquid (it was lemon flavored) and never burped that up, even if I didn't take it with food :shrug:

[2bfree]

15. I tried them as well...............

They made me so damn sick it wasn't even funny. I tried them again taking the capsules while eating and it didn't help. Ugh.

[Radio_Lady]

18. Same here -- after a couple of them, I returned the bottle to the store.

They gave me a refund.

I hate the smell of fish anywhere --
