Hi, I am looking into taking an Omega-3 supplement. But all the ones I have seen the pills are HUGE.. there is no way I could swallow them. I have a hard time with pills anyway.
Do any of you have any recommedations for a namebrand of pills that would have a smaller pill.??
Also, are any of you taking an Omega-3 supplement.. if so have you had any luck?
Thanks
Cindy

I added an Omega 3 supplement late in the game...actually it was the last supplement I added (I'm a C) and I now take an Omega blend - suggested by the health food store based on my normal diet - from NOW. Because it's a liquid, it is in a large capsule, but I know this same company sells it in liquid form you can take by the spoonfull. I think that would be your only option if you can't swallow large pills. I have never seen an oil supplement in capsule form that wasn't kind of large.
I take one at each meal, and I think it has helped me. It has become part of my longterm supplement regieme. Hope this helps.

I keep hearing good things about Omega 3 fish oils, but thought that we cant take it because it is oil.
Does anyone take these supplements and do they cause a flare up? If you do take them, what brand do you think is the most safe?

I take a couple of fish oil capsules every morning with my acacia (1 heaping tablespoon in water) and multivitamin. Even though the capsules are big, they're way easier for me to swallow than the multivitamin for some reason. I think I feel more stable when I take these.
Now for the fine print: I'm IBS-C, so I'm not quite as fat-sensitive as some IBS-D'ers. While I get no side effects at all from them, my iron-bellied husband got fish burps when he tried them. Oh, and I'm not really taking them for my IBS - I have dry bumpy skin and it helps with that.

Don't you take a magnesium supplement too? If so what kind and how much?
Also, is your fish oil capsule a mixture of 3-6-9?

do you mean keratosis pilaris? that's the goose bumpy-looking dry skin, usually on the backs of your arms, though other places, too.

Precisely! I've had it forever, although the fish oils have gotten it off of my face and butt. I think I'd have to have a fish-oil IV to get it off of my upper arms and thighs.

I take a Cal-Mag supplement (1 tablet = 500/250 mg, I believe) and have some Ca and Mg in my multivitamin.
This is my fish oil. It's nothing fancy.

as long as I eat them with food I do fine. My skin looks better and I think they and the acidophilus I take helps my "C".
If you want to know the brand, e-mail me at emailrachelk@yahoo.com. I don't check that e-mail often but I will respond.
