Preventing Fishy Burp Ups

[robin4health]

Hey All. I just ran across some cool info and I wanted to share it with you all. Those of you who take fish oil or Omega-3's and don't like the "fishy" burp-ups you get from them......try putting your capsules in the freezer! It doesn't change them in any way and they are still effective, but I guess it helps with the fishy burp ups. Some one try it......I want to know if it really works! (I don't currently take fish oil, or I would give it a try!)

I asked about this problem at a mini-med school lecture I recently attended, because on this website several months ago somebody said if you burp up a fishy taste that means the fish oil is rancid. When I asked about it the cardiovascular surgeon said that is not the case. He did say however that he'd had the unfortunate experience of biting into a capsul once and it was pretty disgusting. His recommendation was to be sure to take your fish oil supplement with food, preferably a meal. I've not experienced that "yukiness" since doing so.

I get Costco's brand (Member's Mark) of Omega 3 and never burp fishy.

They are Enteric coated and that prevents it from being digested until it gets to the lower intestine.
