These fish oil burps are killing me!!

[turbos10]

Any cure? I have started taking fish oil caps and the after effects are horrible. Any secret to making it better?

Thanks,

Chris

Enteric coated fish oil caps.

I hate fish so you can imagine I hate burping that crap up. I switched to flax seed oil.

I just bought a giant bottle of fish caps, so I hate to waste it. However, I may end up doing it anyway. That **** is horrible.

Ding ding.

Costco sells the coated fish oil tablets that don't unseal until they get farther down the digestion chain so you don't burp it up.

[Cynical_Simian]

Even if you don't get the enteric-coated ones, it gets better (or at least less noticeable) after a couple of days.

Anyone try eating healthy fatty fish instead?

Salmon, Sardines ring a bell?

You get your Omega 3 *and* protein.

Want more Omega 3? Grind up raw Flax seeds and mix it into your oats, whole grains?

Eating it would be fine. The fact of the matter is that I simply dont have time or opportunity alot of the time. I work out of town and live out of a hotel during the week alot of times. I try to eat lean, but in a small back woods town it is hard to find anything other than a chicken fried steak and mashed potatoes with homemade fat gravy. If I get grilled chicken and salad I am doing good.

Wow.

I for one am proud of your efforts to keep a healthy lifestyle with a job like that. Many people on here bitch if you say you don't have time to cook everyday because they sit around 12 hours with mommy and daddy doing everything for them....but you're living the life of a working person and still try to eat right. Congratz.

That's a bit of a stretch, don't you think?

The secret to eating healthy when you are on the go is to prepare in advance. Just make it a habit.

Not all healthy foods spoil in the course of a few days, and there are many that can be left only partially prepared or obtained *canned* and ready to eat. Just because something is canned or in a sealed package... or dry, does not mean it has to be devoid of nutrients or packed full of junk.

Do your research, folks.

Yeah, but trying to prepare food for a week is not an easy task and also takes up space.

Stopping at gas stations or local supermarkets can be a hassle too. My local safeway doesn't have one healthy brand of bread, beef jerkey or pre-cooked meat available. Fruit is always safe but dammit....sometimes I need some protein.

More often than not I find myself buying cans of tuna but that can get a little old after awhile too.

It's not impossible, it's just irritating and harder than it should be. That's America though, making food bad for you to gain 3 cents per share on the stock market. I guess we learned nothing of laziness and greed from the Romans.......

Well, I am trying to cut down body fat right now. It is just about impossible for me to have the perfect diet and perfect timing on the road, but I am trying to get close. Weekends are pretty easy to eat what I need to.

I also agree that there are healthy foods that travel well. The problem is that I am the lead engineer on projects with multiple engineers working for me. So if I stop, work stops for everyone else as well. I have to have something that is quick and will not spoil setting in a hot car or in my tool bag in a hot mechanical room.

I've read on here that freezing them fixes it. That's a 2nd hand statement though, but maybe give it a try.

Believe me, flax won't be much better. And I have the same problem. Try having the capsules before a meal rather than afterwards.

Great advice!!

[sharingan]

Yea, Just suck it up and finish the bottle. then switch to flax.

I cant mess around with that stuff anymore either,

I even puked a couple times after a grueling workout where I could taste decaying fish body oil in my stomach, + all the other **** I ate in there. grose.

Nice idea in theory, but fish oil lowers blood sugar levels on an empty stomach, making you feel extremely tired and lathargic. Take them after or during a meal, or not at all, imo.

Thats where I buy mine, There cheep and hi quality. One lesson I learned
is, take it right after a meal or deadly smelly farts will occur!!

I think they mean right before--and then eat--shouldn't have time to mess up B.Sugar that way.

Yeah, that's what I meant.

[Sabretooth]

Freeze em. Problem solved.

Interesting! Never thought of that
