I know some of you here use fish oil... perhaps you've had the same problem I just had this past weekend?
I switched brands of fish oil - the old one was just enteric-coated regular fish oil. The new one is enteric-coated CONCENTRATED fish oil - the percentage of EPA and DHA is much higher, and it's in ester form instead of fatty acid form. Anyway, I didn't have any problems for the first few days, but then on Saturday, well, without going into the gory details, I was having the same sorts of lower-GI problems one gets when they eat too much olestra (fake fat used in low-fat junk food) or Alli (the weight-loss drug that prevents the body from absorbing some of the fat you eat). I've never used either of those products and I doubt I ever will! Eww! Anyway, I stopped taking it for two days, and I started taking it again this morning but at a much lower dose. I was taking 4 in the morning and 4 in the evening; I'm going to do 2 in the morning and 2 in the evening now.
To make matters worse - my allergies were horrible this morning! Normally the fish oil really suppresses my allergies (hayfever, mostly, but also allergic to mold and some other stuff). Grr.
And I hurt all over too - but I think that's because I was at my dad's house doing yardwork over the weekend, and I was also giving our oldest son another lesson on how to use the lawn mower. He's getting better!!! My little one was upset when we were pulling weeds - he was worried about the bumblebees not getting enough food if we took the weeds away. I assured him that Grampa did not have the only weeds in town.
Jasmine, I have the same problems if I use a certain brand of Fish Oil. Do not go over 3600 mg when you are taking it. I have noticed it helps with allergies and joints too. Be careful. Let us know how you are doing. Ugh....that sounds awful.
That's cute about your son, though. What a nice kid!
this is why i usually buy my natural stuff at the health food stores. they only sell the best quality,and leave out the harsh additives.
d you know if it had any omega-6? O6 is known to CAUSE infla.
Hugs!
